Description

What is your issue?

I've been working with Datasets with 1000+ data vars. The HTML repr is extremely slow.

My current solution is to change the config to use the text at the top of the notebook, and then kick myself & restart when I forget.

Would folks be OK with us falling back to the text repr automatically for, say, >100 data vars?

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Dataset HTML repr entry point and the existing text-repr configuration, then inspect related repr tests; done should be an automatic text-repr fallback for datasets exceeding the agreed data-variable threshold, with regression coverage for the behavior.
