long wait time for display of node types

[ltalirz]

As discussed during the Materials Cloud meeting - it takes a long time for the left sidebar of the grid to appear
https://dev-www.materialscloud.org/explore/hcofs-co2/grid/calculations

@asle85 Can you point me to the code of the AiiDA queries that are in operation here?

The REST API query that takes a long time is the following:
https://dev-aiida-dev.materialscloud.org/hcofs-co2/api/v4/nodes/full_types,
which calls the following code:

from aiida.restapi.common.identifiers import get_node_namespace
return get_node_namespace().get_description()

Unfortunately I did not quantify "a long time" here.
My feeling is that it has already improved quite a bit (and I think optimizations were done on the AiiDa side (?) ).

Anyhow, loading the page overall still takes a pretty long time...
