Description
**Describe the bug**
I've been running specter from a Linux machine in my LAN since forever with no problems.
After upgrading to v2.0.0 (same with 2.0.1) it is now extremely slow.
Like 4 minutes for showing the wallets overview or more than 2 minutes for the About page...
Most of the time the browser shows "Connecting..."
From chrome it seems to be waiting for:

Unusable.
**To Reproduce**
no idea, just installed specter 2.0.0 on ubuntu 20.0.4 with bitcoin 24.0.1 run as service with exact same .service file I've been using before... Python 11.2., browser Brave from an Ubuntu 22.04 on another machine on the same LAN.

Research direction
No source file or failing test is identified. Start by reproducing the delay on Ubuntu with Specter 2.0.0 or 2.0.1, Bitcoin Core 24.0.1, and the existing service configuration, then trace the request that leaves the browser showing “Connecting...”. Done means the regression is isolated and the Wallets overview and About page return promptly again.
