Generally quite slow response times within the UI

Get Help
1

I've noticed recently that UI actions can lag for 2-5 seconds, including:

  • Clicking (when in visualisation view) on filters / summarise
  • Switching back into the notebook view from the visualisation view (clicking "show editor")
  • Updating filters in visualisation view or notebook view

Unfortunately I don't have anything much more helpful to share other than the above. I don't have any problems with general navigation, clicking on any of the visualisation / settings buttons nor switching charts or settings.

It's only a noticeable issue when several models are joined / generally a larger dataset is being used.

Hi @jack_c
Please use the support email if you are on the Pro/Enterprise plan.
It very much sounds like you are experiencing this issue, which is complicated to fix as it requires a lot of code refactoring before we can specifically address the issue:

Not a problem - will do next time, and thanks for linking that thread. Would enabling reduced motion help?

@jack_c It would likely not make a difference if you have a lot of sections or summarize fields, since that problem is caused by the field functions exponentially growing during validation.
The older problem, which was caused by an animation has been removed many versions ago.
