InfoPath Dev

Hi! I'm new to Infopath, and I'm coding a rather large form, either with a large schema and data, or a smaller schema and data and a huge Manifest file. I haven't finished it yet, because it will take some time. But I'm wondering which files exactly get loaded into memory when running infopath form services? Will a form with a large amount of rules make the form slower? I know that having a huge schmema made it slower, but not sure about the rules and manifest.. THANKS!

Hello jcmoon,
