Appium running on Android Emulator, Web Element Locator Timing 200x Slower While Keyboard Is Displayed

While investigating an issue where our tests were running extremely slow, I discovered a prevalent issue where locator find methods by id, accessibility id, and xpath were slowed by ~200x the regular find times when the Android keyboard is on screen. Forcing the soft keyboard hidden via desired capabilities and/or hiding during the scenario did not improve times. I suspect this issue is the underlying issue for many other situations, e.g. keyboard typing slowness.
