ReconnectingWebSocket much slower than WebSocket

See original GitHub issue

I have a simple app for asynchronous message passing, using websockets (React + Django).

If I use WebSocket, the connection opens almost instantaneously upon loading the page, whereas if I switch to ReconnectingWebSocket (that’s the only change in the code and using import ReconnectingWebSocket from 'reconnecting-websocket'; ), it takes around 3-5 seconds.

Is the reason behind this delay understood?
