I use this UI all day, every day on a Ryzen 3900 with 12 cores, 24 threads, 32GB RAM, 300Mbps connection. It's always extremely slow, takes up obscene amounts of CPU and RAM. It's mind-boggling how they think, "this is ok".

The move to, "let's show them a pretty G spinner to compensate, because research shows that'll make them think it's fast" irks me to no end.

Here's a couple of tabs, one is a dashboard taking up 1.5GB RAM, the other is a k8s deployment page, taking up 1GB. It seems any tab takes up a ton of RAM. CPU also locks up completely in those tabs routinely. The chance that occurs correlates with how long a tab is open.
