Same here. I got really excited by pipenv, but every single time I've tried it, it takes 10+ minutes to determine the dependencies and build a lock file (see issue 2284 [1]). It just makes it un-usable for a lot of my use-cases, e.g. setting up a clean environment for exploratory data analysis. Does anyone know if poetry improves in this area?

Yes, I haven't encountered any of the slowness in dependency resolution that Pipenv has with Poetry. It does still feel a bit slow compared to package managers from other languages, but not in a buggy way, so I would attribute it to not being that optimized yet.
