Long data loading during admin navigation

[asandor]

While the GWT Admin interface is pretty nice and usable, the fact that it is doing a long loading of (I imagine) metadata after each navigation click, it really killing the mood. Whatever data it needs to display those forms could be loaded right at the start, or at least once per form and keep it cached in client memory.

What do you think? Is there a plan to optimize this?

The metadata is already extensively cached (as you point out). You should see much better load times when you revisit a tab. For example, the first time you visit the order tab, it loads in metadata for the order object graph. If you click to another tab and then return to the order tab, the order screen should draw much faster the second time because of data cache.
