CPU utilisation high

[Eric van der Niet, RealData Systems B.V.]

Hello all,

We are using a rather large infopath form with InfoPath Form server. On the
client we see that the utilisation of the processor is rather high when
using and clicking in the form. Is there a way to get this utilisation down?

Yes, there is code in the form.
The server is doing nothing, slowdown is on the client.
Using IE6, but not mutch improvement on IE7.
Multible views in form.
Slowdown in mainly on click of controls, checkboxex ed.
No dynamic fields (alle have fixed size).

Hope someone can help, 2-3 sec before checkbox reacts is verry irritating!

tnx in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric.

I believe this is the postback and validation that is going on for each
field. You should look at reducing or eliminating this. Another option is to
let them enter the data then have a validate button at the end that will
check all of the fields and they understand the wait from a UI perspective.

There is a very useful Microsoft article "Improving the Performance of
InfoPath 2007 Forms" located here that should help:

Typically there are two primary causes - a lot of HTML being rendered on the
client that bogs down Internet Explorer/browser, or multiple postbacks to the
forms server. These are detailed in some length in the article above.
