[TYPO3-english] formhandler multistep form

[Reinhard Führicht]

Hi,

yes, sadly Formhandler is a bit slow currently.
The stable version 1.0.0 will hopefully be faster.

As far as I know, the main reason for the slow performance is the 
ComponentManager, which consumes much time and memory to automatically 
find and include requested classes. We have some plans already to 
increase the performance, but it will take some time to figure out a 
good solution.

Regards,
Reinhard
