Should federated avatars feature have a shorter timeout?

I can use Gitea but browser tab keeps on loading.
Load time multiplies with number od different users that have the default avatar.

Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.11.3
Example URL

https://my.gitea.server/user/avatar/username/-1

Solved with ENABLE_FEDERATED_AVATAR = false

[picture]
AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH            = /data/gitea/avatars
REPOSITORY_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH = /data/gitea/repo-avatars
DISABLE_GRAVATAR              = false
## takes too long - turn off
ENABLE_FEDERATED_AVATAR       = false
