[BUG] 8.1.5 Designer Project Import very slow compared to Export

Not sure if this is still an issue in less ancient versions, but in 8.1.5 the export dialogue treeview is basically lag-free while importing the same export is extremely sluggish. Warning: Don’t try to use the mouse scroll otherwise you’ll be waiting a long time to do anything else while it catches up.

If it’s relevant, my project export is 23MB so a reasonably-sized project (515 views, 426 windows, 690 templates).

I actually just recently did some work in this area and significantly improved things. It won’t land until 8.1.15 at the earliest, but it’s coming.

These changes did make 8.1.15 after all.

This seems to still be an issue and with both export and import procedure.
