Definitely there is problem with custom visuals. I have an report in which all the visuals load fast except clicklet slicer and card with states.
I had to use clicklet slicer, because it enforces the user to always select one.
I had to use card with states in order to display fore color as green when value is greater than zero. Else red.
All these features are not available in default visuals.

    Power BI Custom Visuals API team is working on improving performance of custom visuals.

    That process is taking some time since we have to modify large bunch of code.

      Sounds good, place keep us updated :-) We're also seeing major performance issues using 30+ 'card with states' on a single page. Desktop also crashes when used too long (the memory leak issue) although closing/opening Desktop helps (if you remember :-))
