Description

When I open Keybase app, it takes around 40 seconds (I counted in my head) to get to the main screen and switching to different tabs or opening menus doesn't seem that much faster.

Possibly related issues:
* https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/7826 - High CPU usage (I don't know how to check CPU usage and my phone doesn't get hot or I close it before it has time to get hot)
* https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/9698 Huge log files (Android Go devices are cheap, low-end and this one has only 8 GB internal storage, which also gets used by the OS)

Device information:
* Nokia 1 (TA-1047)
* Android 8.1.0 (Oreo Go Edition)
* Security patch level: 2018-11-01

Research direction

Start by reproducing the delay on the Nokia 1 running Android 8.1.0 Go Edition, measuring launch time and tab or menu transitions. Read related issues #7826 and #9698 for possible CPU or logging impact, then profile the affected flows. Done means identifying a reproducible bottleneck and demonstrating improved timings on the reported device.
