Description

We've been getting a few reports from the EIS Fire team (Tempest, Eli, but also Anthony and I have observed this) about slow performance when interacting with the Fire Event Explorer after initial load. After the initial load (that serves cached fire data), subsequent zooming or interacting with the map results in noticeable delays (sometimes up to 30s) when fetching new fire data for the three 'lf_nrt' collections.

I'm opening this issue to track performance related reports, questions, investigations and potential mitigation strategies we can implement.
