This is expected that *creating a new profile* takes long. But note the "(or
simply different)" in comment 1, where I meant that you created (at the first
run) and then reused a dedicated profile, which would not need to be re-created
each time.

Something should be improved, yes. A message stating that it is being processed
something from a secondary headless instance; also documentation about command
line; and maybe even the handling of the headless option when passing to a
non-headless instance (e.g., we could block such a scenario, and return "Error:
trying to execute headless operations in a non-headless instance; aborting" to
the stderr where headless operation was attempted)...
