As I've loaded my wp-admin recently, I've noticed that it felt pretty slow. After installing query monitor, I noticed that there is often a JITM request that is happening during page generation. This call seems to often take ~3 seconds, but I recently had one that took over 6 seconds.
I haven't tracked down the source of the issue. My understanding is that JITMs previously loaded after the initial page load, so I'm not sure what exactly changed.
Of note, the screenshot that I'm sharing says the plugin that made the request is Jetpack Boost. But, keep in mind that with Jetpack packages, we could be using a package loaded from one of several Jetpack plugins that may be running on my site. Take note of the calypso:sites:sidebar_notice, which I assume is added by Atomic code somewhere.
This occurred on eric.blog. For debugging purposes, I'm glad to give any a11n a temporary user account on that site.
Even worse than the slow request is that if I refresh the page, I can get the request to fire again multiple times.

Steps to reproduce
Have an atomic site
Install Query Monitor or some other debug that shows HTTP API calls (perhaps covered by debug bar when proxied)
Go to wp-admin
What you expected to happen
No page blocking http calls to be made.
What actually happened
The page blocking http call is made.
Impact
Some (< 50%)
Available workarounds?
No but the platform is still usable
If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.
OpenAI suggested the following labels for this issue:
[Feature Group] Site Performance: The issue revolves around the performance of the wp-admin interface, which is significantly slowed down due to JITM requests.
[Feature] JITM: The problem is specifically related to Just In Time Messages (JITMs) that are causing delays in page load times.
[Feature] Plugins: The issue mentions Jetpack Boost as a plugin involved in the slow performance, indicating that it may be related to plugin functionality affecting load times.
