I’m considering adding popovers to my main layouts (accessible only to my account) which will contain most or all fields, portals, etc., to ease testing and more. 
 

#1 Since the popovers will be hidden from view, do the fields, etc cause any slowdown, memory usage, or other negative issues?

#2 If the popover button is visible, but the popover window is not open, is memory, etc impacted or only when the popover window itself is opened?

 

Basically, is there a cost to having items on-screen (but hidden behind tabs, slides, popovers, or through use of the Hide Calculation) or are the same detrimental effects realized whether visible or not?

 

Thanks

That was excellent, thanks. 

Short answer is no, long answer is "it depends." I think you may find this helpful:
