    The existing oracle data source is extremely slow. I even installed the latest oracle drivers from oracle and that only saw a marginal improvement in speed. My other oracle apps using the same connector are very fast, but Power BI is extremely slow.

    One report I use has ~1 million rows, ~20 columns. Takes about 25 minutes to refresh from Oracle. If I dump the same data from a tool like TOAD it takes several minutes. Please improve this. We shouldnt have to vote on this...

    Hello, we are early in 2016, and the ideas is not started, can we hope for some performance improvements shortly?
