Visible lag opening folders in new version, as compared to older version (suspicious fetch logs)

[navin09]

Expected Behavior

• Clicking a 'folder' is responsive (time between action and response is within 350ms)
• Clicking a 'folder' to open it should not trigger a fetch to an internet resource of any kind.

Actual Behavior

• Clicking on 'Folders' takes close to 2 seconds between the action and the response.
• Clicking on a 'Folder' seems to trigger fetches to multiple resources over the Internet.

Reproduction Steps

1. Open Insomnia
2. Open a Collection
3. Click on any 'folder'

Is there an existing issue for this?

3 of these 4 requests are cached on the client, but its true we do need a better story for the /graphql endpoint reloading.

@jackkav thanks for the reply. If they are cached on the client, why make the fetch at all every time a folder is clicked? Also, this doesn't seem to happen in the older version (2023.1.0) If you want to keep the list of folders updated with a remote resource, maybe using a websocket connection that notifies of any updates or changes would be a better solution, no?

For me is the same, opening and closing folders takes a long time, so I need to hit command + r. In general the UI is very laggy compared to previous versions...

Over fetching is addressed in 9.1.1. My previous assertion was incorrect there were fetches being made. We recently improved our app fetching observability so we are doing our best to address some of the performance issues now we have a faster learning loop.
