Large key backups take forever to restore (or fail entirely); should restore incrementally instead

  1. Consider using KeyBackup as a vector to get keys as part of the Gossip Machine matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk#1267
    encryption enhancement

IOS: Similar issue

Android:
Better but still some issues, incremental backup calls done after each syncs so can take some time if not a lot to sync. And it's not working that well for large gappy syncs, in this case the crypto service is catching up on a lot of to_devices that will trigger upload of the newly received key and looks like it's blocking the backup from incrementally downloading keys

How to test:

  • Login an existing account with a big key backup.
  • Open e2ee rooms, history should decrypt quickly (seconds)
