Database selector widget takes a long time to load

[twschiller]

Context

• Database widget takes 5-15 seconds to load for some people (especially members of large orgs/many databases)

Discussion

• Looking at the network timing, the result is coming back in 100-200ms. Hypotheses:
  • 1. debouncing of some kind occurring in the widget itself
  • 2. Chrome has a maximum number of requests it will make at a time, before the other requests get queued. So if there's other network activity, it could be getting blocked
