Even with NODATA, the tables still need to be opened. That's what causes the delay.

If you're using pageframes, the easiest solution is to set up a container for each page containing all objects that live on the page. Instantiate that container only when the user activates the page for the first time. When we did this, our main Order form went from 2+ minutes to pop down to under 20 seconds.
