Resources dashboard loading remarkably slow #174

The loading of a user's resources in the dashboard (here) calls CKAN's user_show API action which in turn calls package_show to fetch all user packages (here).

As has been proposed and implemented here package_search could be used instead of package_show to allow passing limit and offset parameters to the query.

Maybe we should implement this logic in our CKAN version as pagination is meaningless as is.

I agree.

The only thing we have to ensure is that the same authorization checks are performed (e.g. a proper NotAuthorized exception will be raised) in either cases (show/search).

Also, we should adapt our templates, since search results have a completely different structure than ordinary package_show results.

Another approach (but only in case the solution proposed by @smanousopoulos does not yield significant improvements), would be to bypass user_show and write our own lightweight version. This is because user_show gathers several pieces of information (such as followers and activity history) which are irrelevant to a dashboard for resources.
