Description

Your photo view is significant faster than on android.
On android we are using webdav search, which then gets back all images on server (on big instances, this even might take ~15s for 10k images), after that we fetch the metadata info for this files, and after that we have to list them (which is the fastest part).
So all in all this takes 15-20s for 5k images.

What and how are you doing that it is this amazing fast?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by examining the iOS photo view's loading flow and comparing it with the Android WebDAV search, metadata fetch, and listing sequence described in the report. Done would require a clearly specified faster approach, but the issue does not define a requested change or acceptance criteria.
