When I save a visualization, it takes about 25 seconds.

What factors determine how long it takes to save?  
Is this normal?

It's difficult to say, I'll list a few possibilities below. Would it be possible to capture a HAR or share info on the network request from dev tools?

- browser -\> kibana latency
- kibana -\> elasticsearch latency
- [refresh interval](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules.html#dynamic-index-settings)
- elasticsearch load

I've created a HAR file: [https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aoo7pNw3X\_ybjPcavzbdRyUBLLNt9g?e=Ii5Cv0](https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aoo7pNw3X_ybjPcavzbdRyUBLLNt9g?e=Ii5Cv0)
