I'm seeing a lot of that with Flash forms. I admit that when I started using CF7, I was like a kid in a candy store with Flash forms, and started converting darn near all of them to Flash. People were pretty impressed at first, until the load times started to get problematic. I think the only form I didn't convert back is an accordian form on our Intranet that displays various company info- birthdays, hire date anniversaries, company holidays, etc.
I was surprised to see this kind of execution time increace with Xforms, though. Matt Osbun Web Developer Health Systems, International -----Original Message----- From: Michael T.

Nothing to tricky either.... 22 form elements, 9 of which were select boxes being populated with from cached queries (average recordset was about 10 records).
