In my pursuit of "most excellent render times", I am looking closely at the built-in "stats for load times". For this screenprint, the average is about 7 seconds which is pretty good. Though there are some outliers with the highest being 34 seconds. Is there weirdness in load times if my users do activities such as having multiple browser Tableau sessions, undock their laptop in the middle of rendering, etc, etc? I am hoping this is one such explanation and hopefully there aren't too many of these outliers that would drive averages up. Any automatic way of excluding them?
I did a bit deeper analysis based on today's data. And I found the following. I am going to talk with one of the users this afternoon and see if we can predictably replicate.
- The data within http_requests is a combination of retrieve and bootstrap request. I believe the view computes render times based on the bootstrap.
- It's an embedded view
- There's multiple requests for the same user, same vizql session
- Things start to go astray when there's overlap of requests
