Stephen,

I didn't notice any delay with my approach. However, the form loading time is decreased, that's important. Besides, there are lots of situations, when user would never go to second and other pages at all. Why we still need to load their objects, if they would not be visible anyway? And I believe I picked this idea from UT some time ago (from Brett Hobbs, if I remember correctly).
