Unable to export spatial data from project with large questionnaire

[alukach]

When attempting to export a project from the production site, the spatial API times out. This project has a large questionnaire, resulting in ~250 elements being returned in a spatial unit's attributes object. Requesting 50 elements takes the API around 25 seconds to return. By default, the API returns 100 elements. I believe our server is set to timeout after 30 seconds.

Endpoint in question: https://platform.cadasta.org/api/v1/organizations/dinas-perkebunan-kabupeten-musi-banyuasin/projects/pendataan-dan-pemetaan-petani-swadaya-kelapa-sawit/spatial/?limit=50&format=json

Potential fix ideas include:

• Instructing the export-service to make smaller API request (quick and dirty)
• Identifying and removing performance barriers to the API (better performance for us moving forward 💯)
