This happens because we have to load more data. The page only requests as much data as it needs so each page leads to another request. This could be fixed by prefetching larger chunks.

Comment 2

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

comment 1 is correct.  Are there any users running into this problem?  I'm doubting anyone is actually going through 30 pages of data without just using the CSVs.

Load times getting slower is expected as we go back into older data.  "visible increase in load time" doesn't sound like a big deal to me.  If we're talking minutes to load the page, reopen, otherwise -> wontfix.
