Can you share more details on what type of data connection you are using and how you are loading the data to get a fair idea of why the data load is taking more time?
Irrespective of the number of rows, what is the size of the app when loaded to the Qlik SaaS environment?
Data load time depends on a lot of variables like network connection speed, proxy settings, type of objects included in the data etc.
