Troubleshooting API handshake timeouts and tile rendering lag on mobile environments?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a project that pulls high-frequency satellite imagery into a mobile dashboard for field monitoring, but I’ve hit a bit of a bottleneck with the integration. Lately, whenever I try to trigger a sequence of automated tile requests, the interface starts to stutter significantly. It feels like the main thread is blocking during the signature handshake, which leads to the whole map view hanging for several seconds before the layers finally populate.

I’ve already looked into my memory management and tried to async the provider calls, but the "micro-freezes" are still there. I even experimented with a delta vng configuration for my background execution tasks to see if a more modular script handler would prevent the browser from stalling, but I’m still seeing these intermittent handshake errors during the data pull.

Has anyone else here dealt with execution lag when running heavy scripts alongside the Planet API on mobile? I’m trying to figure out if there is a specific way to handle these background tasks to keep the UI responsive, or if I should look into a different bridge configuration for better stability during the data injection process. I’d really appreciate any insights on how to smoothen the execution flow so the data refresh doesn't feel so fragmented!
