DocumentsContracts.deleteDocument takes forever. Is this known/normal? Or is it something with the app?

Hello, I made some features to the app (explicitly bookmarks for recordings).

I am noticing some issues with the app itself aside from the bookmarks features, this has nothing to do with what I added.

But, when starting a recording, and then deleting it (the X button on the left), the UI hangs for a bit then resumes. I noticed it has to do with DocumentsContract.deleteDocument. The same result when I delete my bookmarks file, or deleting recordings themselves from the player window

Is this just horrible SAF performance? Or something else? It happens on both my S9+ tablet and P7P running Android 11.

I've since moved all deletions to background threads, but its just so annoying how it takes so long when I can use regular File operations (before SAF) and delete such small files practically instantly if they are stored in /data/data/ directory. I might just move everything there instead of using the internal storage, and then switch back to regular file calls.

Maybe that can be an option to speed things up. Then only request SAF permission when wanting to share/export a recording.
