Bug Description

When importing data from .csv files around 15 MB in size, JASP takes 3-4 minutes to import the data (from half-filled progress bar to data tables visible on the screen).

When file sizes grow to ~30 MB, the same process takes about 15 minutes and even longer with larger files.
Computer specs don't seem to play a role, as we tested on PCs with 8 CPU cores and 32GB RAM and SSD's for storage, to much more capable VMs.
Tested on 0.19.1 and 0.18.3, and found the same behavior.
Used dummy csv datasets for testing from https://www.datablist.com/learn/csv/download-sample-csv-files

Expected Behaviour

Data is imported faster.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Jasp
  2. Open a file via burger menu -> Open -> Computer -> Browse ... etc

Log (if any)

No log output
