Switching spaces is slow

[robintown]

Describe the bug

On my modestly sized account with ~8 spaces containing ~10 rooms each, switching spaces is generally slow. It often takes 1 to 2 seconds from the moment when I tap on a space in the side panel, to when I actually see the room list populated with that space's rooms. The performance of this common interaction could be improved.

Edit: With ~200 rooms, switching spaces sometimes takes upwards of 30 seconds.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Google Pixel 3a
• OS: LineageOS 15.1

Additional context

• App version and store: 1.1.14 - F-Droid

Similar experience on Motorola G7 plus

This seems to go away for me after I clear my cache but quickly comes back which I find quite odd, are there any guesses at what could be the cause of this? Are we the only people experiencing this?

I'm also experiencing this issue but even worst. It can rakes tens of seconds for the switch to a new space actually happen.

I am experiencing this too. Switching spaces is extremely slow, sometimes takes minutes or does not work at all. Clearing the cache does not help. This is especially annoying, since somehow the active space gets randomly switch around (or by opening via notifications?) and I always need to switch back to home.

or by opening via notifications

Yep, I believe this is the case

Are we the only people seeing this?

Deleting cache, storage, completely reinstalling the app and logging in a new session resolved the problem. It is now taking me mostly less than 1s to switch spaces.

The issue has been resolved for me as well - I had to switch to a different account which seems to have done the trick.

Is anyone else still seeing this?

I am currently seeing general slowness across the entire app, which would suggest memory issues of some sort. Not sure whether that counts as this issue.
