How is Path of Building expected to behave?

If i tab to PoB i should not have to wait for it to load for 2 mins

How does Path of Building behave?

PoB feels extremely slow lately, like sometimes it will take 1-2 mins to render the window if I tab to it or I just navigate around or switch trees

How to reproduce the issue

have it open for a few hours behind other stuff then try and click on the pob window in taskbar or tab to it. It will be stupidly slow

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point.

Done means identifying the cause of the 1–2 minute rendering delay and verifying that the affected navigation is responsive.
