  STEPS TO RECREATE:
  1) From "Go To"-"Assets"-"Locations(Nuc)", create new
  locations LOC001 as follows.
  
  Location : LOC001
  Description : Location 001
  Type : Operating
  
  2) Move to "Positions" tab, click "New Row" in "Positions"
  section and add the following entries.
  
  Position    IV Reqd - Application      IV Reqd - Restoration
  LC          unchecked                    unchecked
  LO          unchecked                    unchecked
  
  Then save the record.
  
  3) Create other locations like LOC002, LOC003, ... LOC030
  in the same way.
  
  4) From "Go To"-"Operational Management(Nuc)"-"Clearance
  (Nuc)",click "New Clearance" button.Then specify the
  following values.
  
  Clearance : TEST
  Description : TEST
  
  Then save the record.
  
  5) Move to "Application" tab, click "New Row" in "Tag
  Application" section and specify the following values.
  
  Application Sequence # : 1
  Tag ID : 1001
  Tagged Location : LOC001
  Application Position : LC
  Tag Type : Danger
  
  6) Register the other locations LOC002, LOC003, ...
  LOC030 in the same way.
  
  7) From "Select Action" menu, select "TO Approval"-
  "Approval Application". On "Change Status" window,
  select "Waiting for Approval" and click OK.
  
  8) From "Select Action" menu, select "SRO Approvals"-
  "Approval Application". On "Change Status" window,
  select "Approved" and click OK.
  
  9) From "Select Action" menu, select "Tag Data"-"Apply
  Tags".
  
  10) Verify it takes about 80 seconds to display "Apply
  Tags" window.
  
  11) On "Apply Tags" window, click "Apply Default Data"
  button.
  
  12) Verify it takes about 50 seconds to apply default data.
  
  13) Click "Next Page" button to display the next record
  (21 - 30 of 30).
  
  14) Verify it takes about 30 seconds to display the next
  records.
  
  To sum up, "Apply Tags" takes about 80 seconds in step 10),
  "Apply Default Data" takes about 50 seconds in step 12), and
  "Next Page" takes about 30 seconds in step 14).
  
  This is the problem.
