Do you actually need to check the signature in this situation?

Right now relays are one of around five or so implementations. The issue is at some point when we end up with many more satellite (smaller) relays, malicious relays (or even software bugs) will start to appear.

Maybe trusted relays could have their events skip validation - however, at any moment validation could become really important to enforce client side.

You could run the validation async on the phone (e.g. first get data and then on demand verify signatures as the user scrolls through feed and maybe show a little checkmark when the verified and show red warning when not)
