Wallet freezes momentarily when voting tab is opened.

Freezing is exhibited starting from around 2 seconds after the voting tab had been selected until the polls have been loaded.

I believe that this was also an issue on 5.0.2 but I haven't tested it yet.

Nothing is added to any of the log files.

@cyrossignol can comment, but I think this is just because loading the contracts for the poll information is heavyweight, and state lock must be held during that time.

Yep, the wallet reexamines the vote contracts to readjust weight for people who spend their coins after their original vote, so it takes more effort for the wallet to recalculate poll results for older polls. I'm working on a caching strategy to cut down the delay.

[jamescowens]

The above partially address this issue. It will remain open until we implement a poll/vote cache.

#2137 fixes the blocked GUI thread. Future voting cache optimizations will reduce the reload wait time.
