Description
Why is [check_utxo() in wallet.py](https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/blob/ef3483cc3374fbc8fd49f408b085db10f6411641/src/cryptoadvance/specter/wallet.py#L789) called so many times? Since it always makes RPC calls (it locks and unlocks UTXOs) this could be a problem with larger UTXO lists.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at check_utxo() in src/cryptoadvance/specter/wallet.py around line 789 and trace the callers shown by the reported repeated calls. Check which calls trigger RPC locking and unlocking of UTXOs, then measure the behavior with larger UTXO lists. Done means identifying and reducing unnecessary calls without changing UTXO handling.
