Quick Eval slow to load!

Question

Hey everyone, I'm noticing a major slowdown with the Quick Eval tool loading. It can take 30-50 seconds to refresh, or load whenever I visit. This includes when I first load it, mark an assignment, and then return to the Quick Eval screen to go to the next assignment.

Is anyone else noticing this and what might be causing it?

I calculated 47-60 seconds only to enter a grade. This is without even providing feedback to student.  In my experience (20 years), your system is inefficient.  Don't you think there is a relationship between student grade page and last login?  You add steps left and right.  Why not present the data on one page like BlackBoard?  You are Adding time to teaching, taking valuable time away from students and content creation.  Plus there appears to be no overview page where teacher can see all missing assignments or late assignments. Again, add steps for us… Make us open each individual assignment.
