This occurs because of the way these controls are written, period. The HTML content of the page must be fully rendered first, which then calls an 'onload' script to create the layouts around their container objects. It has to work this way. You may get some speed increase by using ExtJS directly, rather than utilizing the CF implementation of it. It can give you a finer degree of control. Some of these controls also come with an option to be loaded 'hidden', for which you could create your own intialization function that can be called with the ajaxOnLoad() method. You can create your own JavaScript function to 'unhide' your 'hidden' elements, and call the function <cfset ajaxOnLoad(myJSInitFunct) />. This way your items are 'rendered' while hidden, and show after they've been fully written and rendered.
