Expected Behaviour
Sliders slide smoothly

Actual Behaviour
Sliders slide quickly for one change, and then take a while to update on the next change.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Slide any slider in powertools by holding down the left or right d-pad button.
Watch it move inconsistently

Additional context
This is possibly due to lock contention on the back-end. Making the API lock-free (by sending config updates to a single thread which applies them) would be a good mitigation strategy.
