The bug

The immich mobile app on Android takes 6-10 seconds regularly for it to startup.

For some context....
Device: Samsung S22 Ultra
Number of photos: 1000 ish
Misc: I'm using mobile data (20Mbps down)

I think it's fine if it takes a moment for the app to fetch metadata about the photos in the album but it should try to optimistically display all local photos, and previously cached photos (if possible). That'd be a much better user experience.

If any dev is able to give some insight as to the reasons for these behaviours, I would love to know. If the issue isn't isolated, I could make a PR
