Bug Report

Description

Bug Summary:
When importing and loading a large number of chat sessions into Open WebUI, the application experiences significant performance degradation, causing the interface to freeze temporarily. This issue seems related to the side-panel attempting to load all chat sessions simultaneously.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Export a large set of ChatGPT chat sessions.
2. Import these sessions into Open WebUI.
3. Access the Open WebUI to observe the loading process.
4. Notice that the interface freezes for a duration, particularly when the side-panel attempts to load all chats.

Expected Behavior:
The interface should remain responsive and load chat sessions smoothly without causing the entire application to freeze, regardless of the number of chats being loaded.

Actual Behavior:
The interface freezes temporarily when trying to load a large number of chat sessions at once, significantly affecting user experience and accessibility.

Environment

• Open WebUI Version: 0.1.123

• Ollama (if applicable): 0.1.32

• Operating System: Debian 12

• Browser (if applicable): Floorp 11.12.2 (64-Bit)

Reproduction Details

Confirmation:

• I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
• I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
• I have included the browser console logs.
• I have included the Docker container logs.

Additional Information

One possible improvement could be the implementation of pagination or lazy loading for the chat sessions to avoid overwhelming the browser's capabilities by attempting to load extensive data simultaneously.
