Client-side performance is just as important as server-side performance, but it's even easier to negatively impact client-side performance, since any server lookups have the potential to lock up the user's browser for a couple of seconds (a lifetime to an end-user!). Even scripted actions which you might not think would result in server lookups, such as updating a reference field value, can result in a synchronous server lookup, which can negatively impact a user's browser performance.

Note
