Optimizing the opening of the Build Configuration tool

This change request follows the TS003720822 incident on the Build Configuration tool.
Loading the list of projects in Build Configuration is very long in production.
The loading time is 40 minutes for about 650 projects in production.
For the record, our production architecture is the one recommended by IBM for information, i.e. a VM Back (SQL) and a VM Front (AD).
Because of this time, it is impossible to intervene quickly on the Build Configuration tool on your production VM.
We're going to have even more projects soon, which will make the loading time even longer.
That is not acceptable to us at the moment.

Our need is to have the Build Configuration tool that opens in less than 2 minutes regardless of the number of projects.
We ask for a technical optimization of this tool because it does not adapt to our large volume context.
However, we did not see any specific constraints indicated in terms of the maximum number of projects in the tool.

Thank you in advance.
