[EPIC] Performance Optimization #109
Description
📋 Epic Overview
Problem Statement
Performance bottlenecks exist in search, data loading, and UI rendering that impact user experience, especially with large datasets.
Current Performance Issues
- Natural language search uses basic string matching
- No pagination for large lists
- Synchronous data operations block UI
- Image loading not optimized
- App launch time needs improvement
- Memory usage spikes with many photos
Success Criteria
- Search response < 50ms for 10k items
- Smooth scrolling with 1000+ items
- App launch < 2 seconds
- Memory usage stable under load
- Background operations don't block UI
Sub-Issues
