How many time it takes to retrieve the data? – starian chen-MSFT
@starain-MSFT , its just one/two second or less than it. Does it affect the obtaining data?. We are retrieving data in two methods in build summary tab from attach method and in release summary tab by reading log – Lalindu

This happened in some of my extensions, too.

I solved it by loading the contents of the page asynchronously. The initial page should load very fast. The processing of the data and following display of the results is only started when the page is loaded. When the processing is done, the contents of the page get updated. I did this by using an MVVM-like behavior with knockout.
