Dashboard Loading
Dashboard loading is the spinner shown while a dashboard's queries run, and the title points at the wait between asking a question and seeing the chart.
A spinner is a small confession: queries are fanning out, caches are being consulted, and somewhere a scan is deciding how long you will look at a blank rectangle. Dashboard Loading is the pause everybody in analytics has learned to read.
Two seconds is a product decision. Ten is a bug report. Run it while you profile the slowest tile, cut what is not needed and pre-aggregate what is. The best dashboard wait is the one users stop noticing.
