We recently improved the performance of our Meteor Galaxy UI by implementing Apollo Client and GraphQL, allowing for faster rendering of components and reduced server roundtrips. By eliminating no-op re-renders and implementing a simple scheduling system for polling queries that relies on Apollo's query batching, we significantly improved performance. Additionally, we aligned the polling intervals of multiple queries to batch them together in a single server roundtrip, reducing the number of requests made to the server. These improvements are now available starting with version 0.4.6 of Apollo Client and can be easily implemented by updating to this new version.
