This blockchain explorer is intended for private Ethereum chains. As it does not have a dedicated database all data will be retrived on demand from a backend Parity node. Some of those calls are resource intensive (e.g. retrieval of the full tx list of an account) and do not scale well for accounts with a huge number of transactions.
