Validator_balances takes 60s, how to speed it up?

Just need the balance of the first index, not the entire result which is a really large size each request takes about 60s as of now ex: https://insert-api-key.quiknode.pro/54e77fb8d6d379648f4cb77bcba74cb43034a497/eth/v1/beacon/states/7151424/validator_balances res:

{"execution_optimistic":false,"finalized":true,"data":[{"index":"0","balance":"32015383273"},{"index":"1","balance":"32015322816"},{"index":"2","balance":"32015379808"},{"index":"3","balance":"32015373772"},{"index":"4","balance":"32015393013"},{"index":"5","balance":"37047047942"},{"index":"6","balance":"37036699803"},{"index":"7","balance":"36610484286"},{"index":"8","balance":"36708901399"},{"index":"9","balance":"36840418808"},{"index":"10","balance":"37049579050"},{"index":"11","balance":"36984946560"},{"index":"12","balance":"36763986341"},
...

I only need the {“index”:“0”,“balance”:“32015383273”}

any tips for how I can speed it up? thanks!
