It will always be slow if contacting a live node for data such as account balance.

My preferred way is to use Amberdata's API which is much faster. All you need is an api key then you can:

curl \
    -X GET \
    -H "accept: application/json" \
    -H "x-api-key: <your-api-key>" \
"https://web3api.io/api/v1/addresses/0xb7e3abd75119fe3cfc76015193226b21fc19230b/account-balances/latest"

Which will return the data like so:

{
  "status": 200,
  "title": "OK",
  "description": "Successful request",
  "payload": {
    "address": "0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d",
    "blockNumber": "7446776",
    "timestamp": 1553638186000,
    "timestampNanoseconds": 0,
    "value": "65103167814228166337",
    "blockchainId": "1c9c969065fcd1cf"
  }
}

Let me know if that works for you! 😃

There is also a node wrapper package!
