Today I was looking at the source code generated by my forms, and one thing I noticed is that I have a HUGE number of Appearance controls being created on the form design code file.

I can only guess the impact on performance and load overhead this brings.

What scares me is that this is a really simple form. I have forms with 10x or even mode infragistics objects, that will mean I will have something like over 1000 of these objects on a SINGLE form?!

If this normal?!?!

Look at the code generated for 2 UltraGrids, 1 UltraTab control, 6 UltraCombo. 96 Appearance instantiated objects!!. Now imagine this 10x or even more!
