Description
Everytime I use the Keybase MacOS app, it's painfully slow. Every new message or each time I switch focus to the app, I get the spinning pinwheel for about 60 seconds before the app is usable. It's so bad I can't really use it for realtime chat. I don't see these problems in my iPhone, but since mobile typing is slower and there's no filesystem, without a working Mac app, I can barely make use of Keybase.

Research direction
Reproduce the report on the macOS app by testing a new message and switching focus, measuring the reported roughly 60-second delay. No file, test, or entry point is named; done means identifying and eliminating the delay so realtime chat is usable.
