Define insanely slow, is it putting up the spinner for loading? If so you can 
switch tabs while its doing its thing.

Its not a known issue, but if you need to get at the VMs right now and the 
dashboard is in your way, you can always disable the UI plugin that adds it. 
But I suspect there is some other issue that is causing the problem.

In /share/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins there should be a file called 
dashboard.json, rename it to something that doesn't end in json and reload the 
webadmin, that should disable the dashboard.
