Start-up speed overhead of `dub run dscanner`

I want to call dscanner 73 times in succession, because I can't
pass it a source directory to recursively scan without it failing
an assert parsing one of the files. ([dscanner
#931](https://github.com/dlang-community/D-Scanner/issues/931))
I want to do it in a CI build/test script, so I thought I'd just
make it `dub run dscanner -- -S --skipTests [...]` and avoid
having to clone the dscanner repo and build it manually, but it's
slow. It's slow even if I add `--nodeps` after the first build.
On my local machine I can install dscanner from repositories,
which is as fast as I expect it to be, but on CI I'm a bit more
limited.
Simplified:
```
$ time ( for f in source/**/*.d; do dub run dscanner --nodeps
--vquiet -- -S --skipTests $f; done )
7,87s user 3,33s system 99% cpu 11,304 total
$ time ( for f in source/**/*.d; do /usr/bin/dscanner -S
--skipTests $f; done )
1,28s user 0,45s system 100% cpu 1,725 total
```
I *can* clone the dscanner repo and build it myself. I can think
of plenty of workarounds. I can even delete or rename the
offending file causing the assert before scanning.
But is there anything non-invasive I can do that lets me keep
`dub run`? I don't see a way to query dub for the path to the
already-built executable. There is a `--force` flag to make it
always rebuild, but no inverse
`--trust-me-its-okay-just-run-the-thing` flag.
