I'm using the pages router and I have a Link in my sidebar to a dynamic route that uses getStaticProps. On the client, the page fetches a rather large json object using React Query/tRPC.

My understanding is that navigation to this page should happen very fast and that the non-data-related elements it displays should display almost immediately, and that it only then begins to fetch and render the data.

But that is not the case!

When I click the link, it takes a pretty long time where nothing happens and then the whole page shows up perfectly rendered. This happens both in development as well as production.

What is my "error" here?
