Adding 'page-attributes' to a custom post type slows down edit screen in the admin

[granulr]

When I add 'page-attributes' to a custom post type it takes roughly 1.5 to 2 min for the edit screen to load... When I remove 'page-attributes' edit screen load is extremely fast.

Under the post type i created I have 5000+ entries.

I think it's less the page-attributes part and more the 5000+ entries part.

Sure, but I have another post type that has 15k posts and no problem there... It's extremely fast - but If I add page-attributes to that post type it's kills it

Correct. I was referring to the fact that page-attributes on a custom post type in itself is not a performance hit. The issue is 5,000 pages getting fetched and rendered in the parent drop-down, I'd imagine.

Ahhhh - ok...

I can't find it, but there's a ticket on trac somewhere for using select2 to scale the page dropdown.

See #31696 for Select2 and #9864 for scaling issues.
