+Call fetches immediately - do not wait for idle
+
+[NetworkManager](https://dataclient.io/docs/api/NetworkManager) will fetch
+immediately, rather than waiting for idle. With React 18+ it is expected for
+React to better handle work with concurrent mode and batching. Due to this, it
+is not longer deemed the best performance to wait for idle and instead we should
+fetch immediately.
+
+`IdlingNetworkManager` is still available to keep the previous behavior.
