Performance issues when using REST APIs from a smartphone

Question

To obtain the list of users and their metadata, I perform the following operations: 
 Obtain the list of M-Files IDs according to object ID 624 (sample) mfwebserver/.../624 
 I then need to loop for each M-Files ID and run this query to obtain the list of metadata mfwebserver/.../624/ <M-File ID>/properties If I have 550 users, I need to run 551 queries !!!! Is there a better solution?

You can request data for multiple objects at once: M-Files Web Service: Properties of multiple objects . You can use a POST to retrieve the data. 
 Note: you cannot request an infinite number so you will still have to paginate data, but you should be able to take that number of requests down to somewhere between 2 and 6, perhaps.
