So I previously set it up so that CLAUDE.md had instructions to read AGENTS.md but I changed it so that CLAUDE.md is just a symlink to AGENTS.md. When Claude loads now, it doesn't have that extra file and extra hop it has to take. It's literally the same file now. I hope this helps others out. It should speed things up slightly because it is one less file to read and the agent doesn't need to parse it and then issue another tool call to read AGENTS.md.
