Client asking to many times for session

Description

I'm seeing the java client asking for getSession too many times, probably like 5,6 times between commands, making the test to run slower. This make a big difference when running on a testing cloud since this calls are adding ~4 seconds between commands in the test.

Environment

This is a problem with the client itself.

  • java client build version or git revision if you use some shapshot: 5.0.4 (havent tried another version)
  • Appium server version or git revision if you use some shapshot: Any
  • Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: Any
  • Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Any
  • Mobile platform/version under test: Any
  • Real device or emulator/simulator: Any

Details

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

Running a simple test using the java client, during logs we can see all the getSession commands.
For ex.
