Thanks, Matt. I agree with you that a 4-field form is not something to worry about (but that was just an example of how EVEN a small form was quite slow). I'm beginning to get the idea that Flash fomrs in Coldfusion 7 are just a "specialty" item (not the best choice for every form), with buggy beaviour (they might not load for no apparent reason) and very poor performance (only justifiable when replacing another monster form)...
