Hi Rob, No, I haven't made a comparison. I have built client-side form generators before but have used XML for the form schema. JSON is obviously faster than XML.
Generating the entire form server-side and inserting it as a single block would obviously be faster than generating fields one at a time on the client. That being said, there doesn't seem to be a visible difference to the user performance-wise.
