Meanwhile, Sabre/FS does work much more quickly from the get go in my experience.
Indeed, all queries after the 1st one are faster for a number of Methods, including
[Sabre: GTC] and most Award/Upgrade Availability Methods.

You could be right but too long IMHO.
Those times are definitely way too excessive:
- For [Sabre: FS], each query should take ~8 seconds (add ~3 seconds for the 1st query).
- For [Sabre: GTC], each query should take ~20 seconds (add ~10 seconds for the 1st query)
- For [Galileo: ETR], ~5 seconds for all queries (per requested booking class).
- [Amadeus: Timetable] is the fastest Method, where results appear in 1-2 seconds.

Have you considered using the
KVS Tool Mobile Companion, which has been specifically optimized for slow/mobile connections?
