Fill-n form very slow after adding automation to the fields

I have a 5 page medical form for a doctor's office.  I added a lot of automation, but now, after you enter data into a field, it takes 2-3 seconds for it to jump to the next field.  Painful.

Can I send anyone the form to look at?

Thank you in advance.

It's pretty quick for me.  The issue is that ALL calculations run every time ANY field value changes.  There are some things you can do to speed this up:
