It seems like there is some sort of evaluation overhead related to the ResourceFunction wrapper that I'd like to avoid. This seemsis especially pronounced for functions with attributes. Take, for example, SymbolQ, which is essentially a wrapper for a built-in function from the Developer context:

Attributes[mySymbolQ] = {HoldAllComplete};
mySymbolQ[x_] := Developer`HoldSymbolQ[x];
x = 1;
ResourceFunction["SymbolQ"][x] // RepeatedTiming
mySymbolQ[x] // RepeatedTiming

{0.00068, True}

{5.2*10^-7, True}

Is there an easy way to avoid this slowdown without having to copy the source code from the resource function completely?

How can I avoid performance losses from ResourceFunction?
