How To improve direct mode performance

Hi All,

I have direct mode connectivity in power bi report as i need to create dynamic parameter. and i can't switch to import mode as the parameter binding wont happen in import mode. so we have to go with direct connectivity.
But the issue is the report takes few seconds to load .. how can i improve the performance of the report.
any suggestion would be appriciated.


Thanks in advance..
