Hi Dave/Ashesh

The thing we can do is:
1) We can display *loading message* same as other panels if returned
response is taking longer than 2 seconds, otherwise we won't display any
message(to avoid fluctuations).
Screenshot - demo_message.png

2) Display a loading spinner along with panel title while data is being
loaded.

Please let us know if it looks good.
