Increase performance on large numbers of files to display (infinite scroll?) #142

Open burnce opened 8 years ago

burnce commented 8 years ago

When performing a meta-data search which returns a large number of results, the user must wait quite some time to get results. There appear to be two phases

  1. a spinner is shown as the virtual collection is set-up and possibly search is kicked off
  2. file list begins to load, but page is unresponsive until complete list is generated.

Would it be possible to increase performance, for example by paginating output from the back-end and using an infinite scroll paradigm in the front-end to deliver results?
