Re: [Laszlo-user] Are percentage-based size specifications evaluated like a constraint?

[Charles Watt]

Thanks for the responses.  There was nothing obvious on the idle queue.  Although no one individual constraint adds much overhead, it looks like the sheer size of my application caused the aggregate load to overwhelm the CPU.  I've got about 60 complex screens and 50 dynamic datasets.  One screen is visible with the rest hidden. Replacing my many grids and other complex, dynamically scaled widgets significantly lowered CPU utilization, but not enough.  I wound up splitting the application into a main screen with several popup overlays.  This removed the CPU burden at the price of a mild performance hit for the user to raise the external screens.
