Description:
Expanding a database table tree with 20K+ table leads to Workbench crashing. Due to this bug, workbench is not usable on Linux. This bug impacts all 6.x versions and was previously reported for windows here: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=66036

How to repeat:
Install Workbench on Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 LTS and create 20K+ tables in one schema then try to expand.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.3.5 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Expanding the schema tree for a database that contained a large number of
tables, such as 20,000 tables, would cause a crash.

Thank you for the bug report.

Tested with 6.3.5 official release. The issue appears to be fixed, however the loading time still makes the workbench useless. It can take tens of seconds or minutes to load the tree which makes the workbench useless when looking for a particular table or set of tables. For same dataset, executing "SHOW TABLES" is instant.

Please advise if there is any configuration change that could make the loading faster. Thanks!
