Actor view refreshed very slowly (or not at all).

[robertnishihara]

The actor page often has outdated information.

To reproduce

Run the following script (e.g., in IPython).

import ray
ray.init()

Then

• navigate to the dashboard
• click on "try experimental dashboard"
• click on the actor tab

Then run

@ray.remote
class Foo:
    def method(self):
        return 1

f = Foo.remote()

Nothing shows up in the actor tab (at least not in the first 30 seconds or so). Reloading the page causes the actor to appear.

Labeling as enhancement because it isn't a bug in existing Ray.

Actor pages are designed to not refresh because the number of actors might be massive. But for further concern, I think it still needs an auto-refresh switch. And it will be turned off by default when there are too many actors (like 1k+ ?) I think it's a better way to solve this problem.
