Ok, so heres something funny.

I have two widget areas, with 10 of my custom widgets each.
Now piklist loads the entire list of widgets for every single widget and places them within hidden divs inside the single widget. So that if you swap widgets, all the code is right there.

So here’s my problem.
Every time I load the widgets page and work on them. The NETWORK load for just the widgets.php file is 14mb every time I edit a widget. (on an uncached load of the page, its a 15.8mb download)

For my editors on slower systems, its taking them 3 minutes to load the widgets editing screen. And guess what they’ve got a lot more areas they need to put widgets. LOL

So there must be a better way, than loading the entire list of widgets for every widget in hidden divs. I have 12 different widgets. This means, its loading 20×12 (240) widgets each time. even though only 20 widgets are showing. Leaving 220 widgets in hidden space.

Any ideas Kevin?
Maybe a reusable single div. (with the drop down list inside and all the widgets in it)
Then its just cloned and reset each time a widget is unfolded?
