Loading query (connection only/table/pivot) is much faster without added to Data Model, why?

Hi there,

 

I have tried to load my query first time without added to Data Model and loading speed is lightning fast. Later, I loaded the same query again with added to Data Model and the loading speed is taking forever to finish.

 

May I know why and what has caused such drastic change in loading performance? Thank you

 

 

Regards,

M

The Power Query UI only loads previews of the data sources (query folding permitting).  Once you load into Power BI / the data model then all the data is loaded.
