Exporting large number of data records is slow

[zhoumingcheng]

Describe the bug When the amount of data is large, exporting data will be very slow. Here, it's not a failure caused by exporting data timeout. When I uploaded a text annotation data of 50,000 records, with a file size of approximately 30 megabytes, and tried to export it, it took nearly 4 minutes.

hey @zhoumingcheng

Thanks for the bug report, are you able to reproduce on the latest version? Furthermore, are you deploying your LS instance locally or is it hosted on a service? Wondering what the bottleneck is on this export process. What are your impressions?

I have a similar issue, but the amount of data is much smaller (1200 Taks). I cannot even export because I run into an HTTP Request Timeout of 30s. It would be better to export asynchronously and then to provide a download link once the export is done, like other applications do.
