I have just finished up a large DCT that is used for a parent-child navigation system that have been developing. It has nine levels of nesting and each 'item' has one choice element. The problem is, its very slow loading (a new form entry). I imagine that is all of the javascript code executing/loading since I didn't use any itemrefs,etc... The choice elements seem to be what has really increased the load time. Anyone have any ideas on how I can improve load times or optimize this DCT? I'll only post a portion of the DCT since its 439 lines long in its current state.

More nesting here... Same as above.
