-In general, if you're experiencing performance issues, you should look through the implementation of your MessageKit delegate methods like `currentSender()`, etc to find any expensive/blocking method calls or operations. Some delegate methods are called many times per message rendered and thus if their implementations are not efficient then performance can significantly degrade. Avoid doing blocking activities like synchronous database lookups, keychain access, networking, etc. in your MessageKit delegate methods. You should instead cache what you need.
