[X] I am reporting a bug in the Onion OS (Note that Onion devs can’t fix inherited issues with RA Cores)
[X] I have reviewed the Onion Wiki and did not find the answer
[X] I have searched the existing (open and closed) issues to ensure I do not log a duplicate
Onions OS Version
4.2 beta 4
Miyoo Firmware Version

Provide a clear and concise description of the issue
With wifi connected and RetroAchievements enabled, the game switcher becomes slow and unresponsive. This manifests in a few ways:
1) When loading a game from the game switcher, the "0%: Loading State" message will be visible for a long time, slowly counting up over the course of around 30 seconds.
2) The ROM will usually load without the game state (ie, normal loading) before the game state finally arrives.
3) When pressing the menu button to trigger the game switcher within a game, the device will freeze for about thirty seconds before the game switcher interface appears (presumably saving the state).
4) RetroAchievements will then login and operate as normal.
5) With RetroAchievements disabled, the game switcher operates as expected.
This seems to be wifi network dependent:
1) When connected to my home network (mesh network, otherwise fast and stable) it occurs
2) When connected to my phone hotspot it seems to be less prominent (still see the "double load" of the rom then the game state, but it happens a lot faster)
Steps to Reproduce
1) Enable wifi and connect to a wifi network
2) Enable RetroAchievements and provide login
3) From the main menu, press the menu button and select a game state
4) (observe time taken to load game state)
5) From within the game, press the menu button
6) (observe time taken to load game switcher)
