Style runs can also speed up your app.
I have a scrolling group of 1 field with 200 lines. I put ellipses on every 
line that the text does not fit horizontally. Doing this in the field became 
impractical after the number of lines got too large. The solution was to 
assemble a styled text array(using mesuretext) and then inserting the styled 
array into the field. I have to go back and look but I think there was a 10x or 
more performance increase for my average case. In any case it became sub-second 
instead of seconds.
