I contacted MS support before about custom visual issues and was told that it was outside of the scope of the support included in a pro license. 

 

Regarding your specific case, it depends on what you are doing in your R code, what data you are loading etc.

 

The only generic advice I can offer is, does it perform similarly poorly in another enviroment such as RStudio, does it perform differently on desktop vs the service/report server.

Thanks Thomas. 

As I mentioned, it works fine in RStudio. And total number of records r just 10.

 

But when I see the same report in Power BI Service/Desktop it is very slow.

    You mentioned you are doing data manipulation in the R script, one suggestion would be do do this before laoding the data into the visual.

     

    One thing to check is that your power bi desktop is using the same version of R as your Rstudio as there may have been performance improvements in some updates to R that RStudio is using that power bi may not be if it is running of an older version.
