New Page Dialogue Slow to Select Parent

[trst]

I have a blog with a few hundred posts (and growing) set as children to the home page. When creating a new Post, the drop down for Parent takes ages to load and has an adverse affect on the UI of the form. Performance is fine until the drop down is active.

I can think of a few work arounds:

1. Limit how many pages are available before searching or using a plain text input
2. Providing some mechanism to designate pages that can be parents (explicitly in frontmatter, perhaps?)
3. Allowing some way of creating a page directly under a specified parent (perhaps as an interface plugin to add another button)

Thoughts?

I tested with 400+ pages and beside a slower loading of Admin (1.5s vs 0.7 with a few pages), to me the select opens quite fast (maybe 200ms of delay). On Firefox. Can you make a small screencast? Which browser are you using?

Anyway determining which pages can be parents, is a good idea to me, for example for a blog I'd never (or almost never) use a blog post as a parent. Maybe limited to some page types (e.g. I choose a blog post (Item), the parent must be a Blog page.

I've been testing from both Safari on macOS (El Capitan) and Mobile Safari (iPhone 6+ and iPad Pro 12.9"). I'll check in other browsers shortly, perhaps I'll check to make sure I'm not experiencing some strange caching issue.
