 * Hi,
    first of all let me thank you to the Caldera team for great form plugin.
   I have chosen it since it offers a way to make powerful and complex forms.
 * I have played with it for several nights 😀 I had everything what I needed in
   my head (like a poem) but I didn’t have tools to do it, not until I found Caldera.
 * What is problem then?
 * Well as title says. For some reason if form is complex, then performance of the
   page degrades so badly that it is impossible to fill in forms.
 * This was my first attempt: [http://www.ahlanbosna.com/en/booking/](http://www.ahlanbosna.com/en/booking/)
   
   you will notice on 2nd page that is almost impossible to fill in data in to the
   form fields. This form has 4 pages, 46 fields and 13 logic condition groups (
   I turned off almost all “required” condition, thinking it will make some change).
 * Then I split form in two, one page just for basic user information, and then 
   I would redirect to another form for services. But already first form feels laggy
   and I did not continue with 2nd part of form (just basic content field to display
   passed data).
 * This is second attempt: [http://www.ahlanbosna.com/en/reserv_step1/](http://www.ahlanbosna.com/en/reserv_step1/)
 * Is this a bug?
    Are there limitations or field types that impact overall JavaScript
   performance?
 * Help is highly appreciated,
    Thank you.

 * Correct, really complex forms can consume too much memory. Right now our focus
   is on finishing version 1.5, I don’t want to start making major changes to the
   JavaScript for the form editor to address performance, beacuse then version 1.5
   might never be finished.
 * I’m hoping to make 1.5.1 purely about editor performance and I think that will
   follow 1.5 pretty quickly.
