Description
Whenever a new user joins a big room like Matrix HQ, we see lots of `GET /_matrix/client/r0/profile/` requests from Element-android useragents. But all the information that the client needs should be in the join event (indeed, the "profile" probably isn't even what you want, since users may have different displaynames/avatars in different rooms).
What is the reason for these requests?
