Problem¶

When a project has many members, the overview page (/projects/:id) becomes slow because the members box loads and renders all member links on the initial page load.
In a local development test with a project that has about 4000 members, the initial overview page load took 1345 ms.

Proposal¶

To address this, I propose limiting the initial display to the first 50 members per role and providing a "Show all" link to load the remaining members for that role on demand.
This preserves the current role-based structure, keeps all members accessible from the overview page itself, and avoids loading all principals up front for the initial render.

In the same local development test, the initial overview page load improved to about 32-78 ms after this change.
Loading all remaining members still has a cost, but that cost is paid only when "Show all" is explicitly requested.
