Does calling submitFields trigger other user event scripts

using the word

other

implies that there is a first user event you are calling the submitField in

so this is happening on a map/reduce script

if you mean outside of a user event script, then yes, calling submitFields in a script like a map/reduce will trigger user event scripts

Grrrr. They realllllllllly do not want me to speed this up lol

You can change the context on the UE if you do not want them to fire when the system is hitting those records instead of a user

I wish I could. We need only this script to run for this map/reduce or csv import. For all others, we still need them to run as normal.

what did your attempt to use disableTriggers look like

slow still unfortunately. The save takes forever. I hate they don't give sandbox the same processing power as production

i meant the code

It still ran the other scripts when I had disableTriggers, but this is what I had.

newRecord.save({
    ignoreMandatoryFields: true,
    disabletriggers: true,
    enableSourcing: false
});

will probably depend on the script, but there are 2 parts to it

OH! I didn't notice that
