Summary

On a self-hosted Gitlab environment, having too many emojis slows down the loading of certain pages like issues and merge requests

Steps to reproduce

• Have a Gitlab self-hosted environment
• Create an organization
• Upload 5000 emojis
• Create an issue
• Go to the issue page after creation

What is the current bug behavior?

Pages are really slow and sending out a lot of GraphQL queries

What is the expected correct behavior?

Faster load time, there's no need to load all the emojis at once when opening the page

Possible fixes

• Disable loading the emojis when loading the issue
• Not sure about this, but do the GraphQL request really need to be chunks of 5KB ?
