Config update is very slow when there are 1000s of clients

[erwin1]

Problem Statement

Use-case:

• keycloak-config-cli is used to update general realm configuration, custom authentication flows, ...
• but it's not used to manage clients

Running keycloak-config-cli against a Keycloak instance with 1000s of clients is very slow (5+ minutes) because a partialExport including clients is run at the start.

Proposed Solution

Not sure if this would break other things, but for this use-case it would make sense to be able to exclude clients so they don't need to get exported.

Or maybe there are other work-arounds that could be used here?

Environment

• Keycloak Version: 24.0.1
• keycloak-config-cli Version: 5.11.1
• Java Version: 17
