Description
The Usage Metrics Dashboard is a pretty heavy Shiny app. Reducing the number of dependencies it uses would improve its responsiveness.
Running the server function takes about 1.5 seconds, compared to about 10ms in a minimal Shiny app. Some amount of this is definitely irreducible complexity, so this work should be time-boxed.
