The use of Power BI reports has been optimized for better performance of page loads. In the April 2019 release, Power BI reports are lazy-loaded to disperse requests. Reports are deployed and the initial refresh happens only when users visit their default page for the first time. Auto-deployment of list page reports that was introduced in the October 2018 release has been removed, because the reports were too demanding on resources for larger data sets. Role Center reports have been optimized, and finance data is now cached in the Account Schedule KPI.
