The order in which local symbols and functions in a DynamicModule are defined seems to affect evaluation time (or rendering time). I wonder if there is any way of tracing all operations performed internally in Mathematica before displaying the evaluated version of DynamicModules. I understand that dynamic variables which have not been assigned an initial value will get their initial value by evaluating objects like PopupMenu or Slider. This could significantly affect evaluation time for several reasons but in fairly complicated applications it is not trivial to follow all internal processes performed before displaying DynamicModules. It would be great to have a log of the step-by-step process used by DynamicModule to evaluate its content before displaying. Any information in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Ariel Sepulveda
