Optimizing complex flow

Hi, I have built a flow that get files from a onedrive folder and then sends emails with those files as attachments. Depending on different keywords these files gets sent to different groups of people. I'm only about 25% done because there are hundreds of different combinations of files and each combination requires a unique setup of recipients and CC's.

The flow is structured as shown in the picturues:

1. Initialize variables for arrays (attachments)

2. List files

3. Apply to each (Get metadata, Get filecontent, Filter condition to only append specific files, Append to array, Move file to a "Sent"-folder)

4. Send E-mail.

Now there are alot of Apply to Each and they are starting to clog down the process. Can take between 30 - 50 mins in total. I tried concurrency setting but setting it to high results in errors. It skips files etc. But setting it on 1 makes it really slow.

Are there any ways to do this better? Maybe avoid Apply to each?

Does that actually work for file contents? Something like Select and using output from List files in onedrive? My e-mails are hardcoded in Send e-email, the issue is filtering and sorting .pdfs and .jpgs to the correct array and then sending an e-mail with that array.

Radical way to speed it up is using MS GRAPH requests. But it will require a lot of work.
