Description
Loading large AppMaps in code editor can take a lot of time; I waited over one minute when trying a 150 MB one, during which time the spinner stuttered and it looked like it might have hung (it didn't).
The user should be shown a message to warn and reassure her; we can also indicate how to improve and refer to documentation. eg.:
This AppMap is quite large, so please allow a minute while we visualize it for you.
(Handling files this large may not be very useful; we have some advice on refining your AppMaps.)

Research direction
Start by locating the code-editor visualization loading path in the TypeScript client and identify where large AppMaps begin loading. Add a warning that reassures users about the wait and points to the refining AppMaps documentation; done means the message appears for large AppMaps while visualization continues normally.
