Dear QGIS developers,

we are facing some crucial performance issues while loading a big QGIS project.

The project ...
... has 1080 layers
... has 167 layer groups
... is heavily styled (in fact, most of the information in the .qgs file are 
stylings)
... has a size of 53 MB (the .gqs file)
... loads the data from a PostGIS database

The main problem we are facing is, that the loading time of the .qgs file is 
between 10 and 15 Minutes (depending on the network traffic).
We don't need all the layers which are defined in the .qgs file immediately. In 
most cases, we just need a bunch of those layers at once.

Therefore, the question is, if QGIS provides a mechanism to postpone the 
initial loading of all layers from QGIS startup to the point in time when we 
actually need the layers? I.e., the layer structure is loaded but not the layer 
data.

Is there a build-in QGIS mechanism that allows loading only the needed layers 
from the .qgs file and write the appropriate styles to it or is it planned to 
implement such a mechanism in QGIS?

Kind regards,
Josef
