Description

Fetching all contacts on Android takes a long time when the user has many contacts (I have ~1450 and it takes 20-30 seconds). The Contacts app can load in less than a second, so what are we doing that's causing it to slow down?

As an alternative or additional enhancement, add "limit" and "offset" functionality to the ContactFindOptions, to retrieve smaller subsets of the contacts more quickly.
