Chat delays when in active order

[Reckless-Satoshi]

Hey @Purchase73 . Indeed, this is in fact a legacy problem.

Will further explain the causes here in case anyone feels jumping into fixing this one.

The Android app uses the HTTP API of the chatroom. On browser, we use Websockets for instant messaging, but the HTTP API is also available (under the name "Turtle mode" the small icon between the two chat status indicators).

That means in Android the app polls for messages very X seconds. This coordinator endpoint might have some other issues as well that make it slow.

The Android app didn't use the Websockets for instant chatting because that was not possible with our previous Tor library. However, it is likeky that the websockets might work with the new native Tor library @KoalaSat implemented. So this issue might not be too difficult to solve anymore.

FYI - same issue again, second time I tried.
When you go to a different screen (like I switch from Order to Robot and back to Order again) it appears to kick-start something, and I get the messages that have been queued up.
Otherwise, I don't know if I'd ever get them.
