[FX.php List] Do non-field objects on layout affect performance?

[Bob Patin]

Tim,

That's interesting; I had always thought that extra objects on a web  
layout affected performance.

I always create web-specific layouts for web apps, that only contain  
the fields that I need. Maybe it's an extra step, but it's easy to see  
my data that way too... I always assumed it helped speed a little bit.

Chris may have some info on this...
