Slow performance within Power BI Desktop, Query editor, Applied Steps.

I took the above suggestions about resolving the performance of query editor.  It does not seem to make a difference to filter on a specific date when the query has more than 20 applied steps.  Is there a maximum number of applied steps allowed for a query?

There were two steps that I used to speed up the query editor process:

1)  Unchecked the "Allow data preview to download in the background."  Make sure that this is unchecked in the report view and query editor.

2)  The other option that I unchecked was "Enable refresh of this query."  This is located in the Query Editor under Properties.  DO NOT UNCHECK "Enable load to report."....you will lose the report.

Let me know if this assists anyone or if anyone has other solutions.
