Task "Check commands exists" executes too slow

[popstas]

Up to 30 seconds on slow hosts. Command should execute below 5 seconds.

No role modification needed, I added to ansible.cfg:

[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s

It reduced execution time of ansible-playbook zsh.yml --tags configure from 55 seconds to 12 seconds on slow host.
