I am uploading images through an api to child pages and when i visit those pages PW creates a variation of the images  and thus slowing down the page load 10 to 30 seconds.

How to disable default image variation?

I assume you are speaking of the default admin thumb? If yes, there is no way I know about to avoid this with image fields. It is a requirement to display each image in the admin.

But if you don't need the thumbnails, just a list with filenames, you can use a file field instead of an image field. The image field is based upon file field, it only has additonal methods and properties related to images.

Thanks @horst that does it.
