Problem

Auto-refresh currently polls ALL resources (servers, volumes, floating IPs, networks, etc.) every 5 seconds regardless of which tab the user is viewing. This causes:

• Unnecessary API load on the OpenStack cloud
• Potential rate-limiting issues with cloud admins
• Wasted bandwidth and compute for data the user isn't looking at

Proposed Solution

• Only poll resources relevant to the currently active view/tab
• When switching tabs, immediately fetch that tab's data, then continue polling only that resource
• Consider a brief "stale data" indicator when switching tabs while the fresh fetch is in flight

Priority

Critical — this is both a performance issue and a trust issue with cloud admins who will see excessive API calls from lazystack.
