That's roughly 2 seconds for init_all_devices which is fine, but then a lot more time spent in select_device as we iterate over all the devices to find the one we're trying to use for testing each codec.

Should be fixed in:

Unlike the existing blacklist and device-name options found in /etc/xpra/cuda.conf which can use device names, the new enabled-devices and disabled-devices options use device numbers for now (will improve this in #2416).
