Is the operation executed in serial? I wonder if concurrency is an option.

Yeah, we definitely want to make it faster. A lot is going on at once and quite a bit that needs to download and compute to even be usable at all (the node is like 10mb).
Backgrounding it and making it look like it is syncing could help a bit instead of showing an empty loading stare.
For sure: coming at it from both angles by improving load time but also eliminating the perception of a frozen/unresponsive dialog.
