When loading very wide datasets from custom data sources with a mix of numerical and string columns Spotfire spends a lot of time "configuring the document" and the loading time does not seem to be linear with respect to to the number of columns.
Note: Since our custom data sources knows exactly what data to expect there is little value in running any heuristics, spend time figuring out recommendations for data cleaning, joins, default visualizations etc

Import of very wide datasets (>1,000 columns) with with a mix of numerical and categorical columns is improved by up to 50% in many cases.
