Description
Often times an important XHR call is blocked because either avatars or user statuses are being loaded.
This is notable in the Talk app when trying to join a call while the above is still loading.
It happens because browsers limit the number of parallel calls. Not sure if cached calls are counted here.
I suggest we look into using a p-queue to limit the number of XHR requests and possibly image loading requests for avatars and statuses.
A similar approach could be used when loading thumbnails in core and FilePreview in the Talk app... maybe can do once we move those to nextcloud-vue.

Research direction
Start by locating the avatar and user-status loading paths involved in the Talk app, then review the suggested p-queue approach for bounding XHR and image requests. The issue names no files or tests; done means important calls such as joining a call are not blocked by unbounded avatar or status loading, while thumbnail work remains separately scoped.
