  1. Optimize Permission Matrix Reports

    I ran a permission matrix report on a site collection. Holy ****! It returned 19,000 (with 3 zeros) items. Running the report took 20ish minutes. Then expanding took 20ish minutes. Then exporting it took 20ish minutes. In the end, it was a 330MB file.

In my experience, after getting the Lost Connection error, once I click the retry, the migration continues right away. It is a waste of time waiting for 1 minute or more where after a second the connection is back and stable again for some time. This is specially useful for migrating large amount of files. The time to retry increases as well so would not be really efficient.
