Performance Analyzer "Other"

Question parry2k - having similar issue. Second executions are much faster, but initial load is incredibly slow. Using Import for data sources. From the referenced post, is this truly the only thing we can do (reduce number of visuals or dataset) to reduce initial load time because of the load on allocation of structures in memory? Thanks for any help!

--- from the post discussed above

• Other: this is the time spent waiting for other operations to complete. This is typically synchronization time between different visuals in the same page and should not be considered as a bottleneck of the visual being analyzed. It is usually waiting time caused by other pending operations performed by other visuals.

If you compare the duration of the first execution of the Sales page with the second execution, you can see that the latter has a shorter duration because it reduced the Other duration of each visual. The reason is that the first execution of visuals and queries to the data model requires an allocation of new structures in memory; it cannot be reduced unless you reduce the number of visuals and the size of the tables of the data model. For this reason, you should focus mainly on the Duration timing generated when you click on Refresh visuals. This way, you ignore the initial loading time of both report and data model.
