I disabled all but about 8 or so 'behaviors' it needed and it was still
slower. The interstitial time of the required often-used 'behaviors' make
things slower. Most of the stuff you'd disable doesn't really take that
much time in small apps.

That is the plan. I hope to 'start over' on my whiteboard.
