Smartform loading issues and general design limitations
 

Diagnoses

When you have built an application which consists of a number of forms, smartobjects, views and studio workflows. This was a replacement for a SharePoint WSS v3 form, which had 300+ columns and masses of empty data fields. In Total this is 700 artifacts. When deploying or creating this can take up to 30mins to 1 hour, why is this the case?

 

Resolution

It is advisable to split up the package as 700 artifacts will take a long time to deploy, and may potentially cause high server usage.
