So, I was watching this video from Microsoft Ignite. Link here: https://youtu.be/14yqmGBY12I
The presentor says at 7:04 that "the entire app is live all the time."
How does this idea translate to having a ton of screens with a ton of objects? Is this why the editing apps takes so much time and processing power? What performance hits could possibly arise from this?

"given that the developers actually communicate well -- which, well, they really don't do well."
The developers rely on other users. That is why they created the "kudo", leveling users and so on. In other words they want you to help others for uselss points which basically cost them nothing. Smart.. isn't it
I'm still waiting for them to answer 2 questions

Point but that's another topic. A reasonable platform could still expect help from its userbase, if not just to simply gather feedback and promote community. But there are things seriously wrong or just simply missing with PowerApps and instead of keeping communications open, the dev team seems to maintain radio silence when things don't go the way they promised the users.
PA and the PowerUsers Community makes me want to vent. @mackenzie_lyng -- You can see the rant below for Community UI feedback, as you said you guys are revamping the whole site and all.

Yes I fully agree with that.

Yes that is what they do all the time which is a bit frustrating.
But instead of revamping the site I would concetrate more on PA it self. It needs a lot of things to be done and fixed first. My suggestions were posted here
so I really wonder what is going to happen
Yeah... about revamping the site? In case you haven't noticed, my post is one of the featured posts for this community. The one about deleting my account, if that's not clear. The admin had mentioned about the planned revamping of the UI but I suppose another team's doing that.
And about the updates...
To quote Lance Delano of the PA Staff regarding their supposedly planned PA Printing functionality...
So, we're looking at a bunch of requests that will help improve overall usefulness and usability. Printing is definitely on the list. There are a lot of things on the the list though. Appreciate the ping.
Definitely indefinite. So unambiguously unclear. They're really great at giving non-answers and evasions.
Here's link to the idea if you're interested: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Ideas/Printing/idi-p/846/page/6#comments. His comment is on Page 6.
Right sorry for that and yes that what I was saying since beginning... They don't care about the users but what is good for them. It was like that from beginning. It would be much more better if they would say that this simply won't be included because (for example) it won't makes us money rather then keep us in misery. Timeline was suggested again since sienna. You have no idea how many suggestion I wrote (some of them are surprisingly included) an how long I was waiting without any answer or so many lies what said we working on them. I learned to just expect worse and hope for better... That is all you can do here

And also that reading and maintaining the code if it's just in one place is much easier. It's really slow to move from one property to another. (Oh, god. The lag.) I'm surprised they haven't improved that ridiculous dropdown.
Are you using desktop PowerApps? I switched to editing in the browser and haven't gone back. It runs at a good speed.

So, back on topic. How did moving all the querying from the caches to the controls improve your app? Did it improve general loading times? Did you have awkward visuals in the screens when the data is initially being queried? If so, how often? The updating of the evaluation of property formulas is also reported to be run parallel. Did that affect the way you queried the data at all?
Good questions. I have a few case studies I can share of the kinds of changes I made. What worked as a compromise for one app did not necessarily work for another:
!IsBlank(Dropdown.Selected.field)I bound that to a toggle and paced my interactions with datasources a little better.
Sum(Gallery1.AllItems, CountRows(Gallery2.AllItems))
Sum(Gallery1.AllItems, Sum(Gallery2.AllItems,field))
