excessive loading time for VCF files in IGV

Hi,

Has anyone faced an issue in which an indexed VCF file takes ages to load in IGV? If they have, is there a workaround?

I am running IGV v2.3.72 in Java 1.8 in Windows. I have tried latest version of IGV as well, it has the same issue.

number of samples ? number of variants ? how is it indexed : tabix+bgzip or tribble ?

There is only one sample..and very small number of variants (only 25) as its only for one gene..The VCF file is bgzip+tabix indexed..

Something must be wrong. Is the genome being used correct.

It loads..but after very long time leading to time wastage..the genome used is correct only..
