Thanks for the help given.
To give some more details, I have several problems am trying to sort namely;

   1. I have a very long controller, which I'll be getting to separate to
   more controllers. This is why I gave only the last part of the code,
   excluding the form. I have noted that I may also need help in separating
   the long code to several controllers. I'll get to this later.See below.
   2. I am trying several options to get the best chatbot feature, hence
   the q, a coming in separately. The replies tables give the previous
   questions and answers the user has seen, while the q,a are the new
   questions and answers coming in, hence appearing at the bottom of the page.
   See the js code, and the limitby(0,2). My aim, since this maybe different
   from other bot codes is to allow a user to question or search, the question
   gets posted in the database and the system modules search for the answer
   that also gets posted into the answers table. This is the table that is
   iterated getting 'replies'.
   3. I have dome some scripting work including 'minify' etc that so far
   has helped reduce the loading speed. That's why I gave this part of code,
   thinking that maybe that's where to issue is.

Below is the start of the controller code, containing several hundred lines:
@mobilize
@auth.requires_login()
def view_searches():
    if db(db.post).isempty():
        db.post.insert(message="Hi, it's" +' ' +auth.user.first_name+' '+
'loging in...')
    form = SQLFORM(Post, formstyle='table3cols',)
    if form.process().accepted:
        pass
    messagev = ''
    for r in db(db.post.author == auth.user.id).select(db.post.ALL):
        messagev = r.message
    form1 = messagev.split()
    name3 = ' '.join(form1).lower()
    ...more lines of code

At the limitby(0,2) am using the js code below to obtain the string for the
q, and a.
js code:
<script type="text/javascript" async="">
        (function(){var e;e=function(e){var t;return
this.text=e.text,this.message_side=e.message_side,this.draw=(t=this,function(){var
e;return(e=$($(".message_template").clone().html())).addClass(t.message_side).find(".text").html(t.text),$(".messages").append(e),setTimeout(function(){return
e.addClass("appeared")},0)}),this},$(function(){var
t,s,n;s="right",t=function(){return
$(".message_input").val()},n=function(t){var n;if(""!==t.trim())return
$(".message_input").val(""),n=$(".messages"),new
e({text:t,message_side:s="left"===s?"right":"left"}).draw(),n.animate({scrollTop:n.prop("scrollHeight")},3)},$(".send_message").click(function(e){return
n(t())}),$(".message_input").keyup(function(e){if(13===e.which)return
n(t())}),n("{{=q}}"),setTimeout(function(){return
n("{{=a}}")},1500)})}).call(this);
    </script>
