Memory leaks in Power BI custom visuals

In the last few days I connected the dots between several requests I received, and I've found that when custom visuals are created and removed frequently in a report, the browser (or the process CefS...

Any news on this? We have several dashboards running at customer sites where we've had to move away from custom visuals due to the slow response and difficulty in building reports with lots of custom visuals (+20)

    Our engineers are working on improving performance of custom visuals.

    This will take some time as we have to update lots of code and test it.

     

    We'll update once everything is ready.

    This is having a severe impact on our reporting and is causing huge spikes in CefSharp.BroswerSubprocess for me. I have been pulling my hair out redesigning measures and entire reports and it seems like it is related to the use of custom visuals (mostly the Card with States visual) that is used in our dashboards. Having dashboards without conditional formatting is a no go for us and we really need a fix as soon as possible. 

     

    We're an enterprise customer with over 800 users and use of custom visuals is needed where standard Power BI visuals do not meet requirements, do you guys have an ETA on this as I'm currently in a situation where I cannot even edit some of my reports and need to reconsider what we can and can't make available to our end users. 

     

    Thanks.

    Power BI Custom Visuals API team is implementing a new API that is going to be faster and lighter than API 1.x.x.

    Current ETA is ~ August 2018 (date is not fixed). It will also take some time to migrate CVs to a new API.

     

    We'll keep you posted.
