Thanks for all the links however none of those were able to answer my question.
My problem is the number of elements an Power BI tab. Whenever I exceed a certain number thinks like resizing the Power BI Desktop windows take over 5-10 seconds and everything is working super slow.
Just to be clear - I have deleted all elements with data - graphs, tables.. all visuals.
All I have left are shapes, texts and images. All info I could find in the links is to limit the number of visuals on a page.
This I can understand as it would generate queries that make me wait for the data. But why do things like shapes and text slow down Power BI Desktop?
Those thinks are crutial for my UX design as I like to design my reports similar to modern websites. Those elements should cost nothing to rander. I just don't understand what Power BI is spending all that time on
