[pending payment] [$250] [LOW] [Performance] Opening a transaction thread can be slow to load sometimes

[mountiny]

Coming from here

Problem

One issue that I've consistently noticed as an approver is that opening a transaction thread seems to be much slower than opening a chat or an expense report. It doesn't seem to be the API call that is slow as I'm seeing OpenReport respond in a few hundred milliseconds. It seems to be something on the client that causes a delay before we even call OpenReport. Is this something that someone could look into?

Solution

Profile and investigate opening the transaction thread and why it's taking so much longer even if the API request is fast.

You can:

1. Create a Workspace as Alice
2. Invite another member to it (Bob)
3. Go to the Workspace settings
4. More Features
5. Enable Workflows
6. Setup approvals
7. Set Alice as the Approver on the workspace
8. Sign in as Bob
9. Create many requests from the workspace
10. As Alice, navigate to the expense report
11. Open the transaction thread
12. Profile opening the transaction thread
