The Docker instance renders _very_ slowly at first

[dfabulich]

1. docker compose down && docker compose up --build
2. Navigate to http://localhost:13000/

The page will take 60-90 seconds to load. My CPU usage is low. It seems like something's configured incorrectly.

Despite that, the Docker console logs say that everything rendered very quickly. For the 60-ish seconds that I'm waiting, there's no mention the console log that the GET request happened at all, until right at the very end, when it spits out this:

But, that's not all.

1. Click the "Sign in / Register" button in the header, taking you to http://localhost:13000/auth/login
2. Sign in as [email protected] / fool
3. Navigate to http://localhost:13000/comp/2024/cover_sheet

This page also takes 60-90 seconds to load, at least for the first three or four times you try to load it. Again, the Docker console is silent, until right at the end when it says everything happened quickly. Quiet CPU. No sign of what I'm waiting on.

update: on slack, we discovered that it's much faster on dan's config to use the 8080 port (the "web" instance) instead of the 13000 port (the "app" instance)
