Hi, for record load times, are there any field types that take longer to load? E.g. Would a record of text fields be much faster than a record of list/record fields?

For actual record load times, I don't imagine there's any appreciable difference at any sort of realistic-sized scale. If you need to apply certain logic to these fields to get certain results, that could be very different. E.g. running the "contains" operation on a large number of text fields can start to get pretty resource intensive. But honestly it's going to be scripts, workflows, and custom fields utilizing searches on said records that are going to be the things slowing stuff down that you actually have control over versus the type of field. Just use the type of field that makes the most sense/best fits the data and use case.

If it is UI load time then the number of fields one the form can affect the performance. Also if you have non-stored values that use searches or formulas, they are probably more taxing then ordinary fields. I would think that list/record fields are more demanding then a field that is stored directly on the record. But probably very negligible.

thank you both!
