feat: implement performance optimizations for HomeView feed loading

- Add skeleton loading state for immediate visual feedback during feed loading
- Implement priority record processing for faster initial display (first 5 records)
- Add background processing for remaining records to prevent UI blocking
- Implement batch plan fetching to reduce API calls
- Add performance logging in development mode
- Optimize filter logic with early exits for better performance
- Add debounced feed updates to prevent rapid successive calls
- Fix InfiniteScroll conflicts with improved loading state management
- Add debug method for testing optimization capabilities
