   My app has 420 forms, 55 scripts and 34 libraries   
      
   The reason I asked was that a ratio of almost one library per form (335   
   libraries versus 540 forms) suggested you were holding most code in   
   libraries and not sharing it between forms - hence maybe not getting   
   maximum benefit of libraries...   
      
   Do you have a particular way of handling code that requires lots of   
   libraries?
