Research and reconsider lazy_static! usage

[ceyhunsen]

Proposal Description

lazy_static! may be causing a performance hit at the startup. It can be replaced with other alternatives like OnceCell and LazyLock if they solve issues lazy_lock! introduces.

• Research if lazy_lock! is OK and causes performance issues
• Check alternatives for the solution
