Can a large amount of blocks in the editor make the blocks editor laggy?

The title says it all: Can a large amount of blocks in the editor make the blocks editor laggy?
I have 586 in my app, and I'm not even done yet. I'll make some more procedures, but that'll drop the count by about 20 blocks.

@ABG

• Use Media text files instead of big clumps of text blocks
• Use generic blocks instead of repeating component event blocks
• Encode repeating decision patterns into lookup tables loaded from Media csv text files (does your blocks image look like a box of combs?)

I don't know how to do the last 3 things on the list: Could you elaborate?

Maximim number of blocks

Just wondering if there is a maximum number of blocks allowed in app. I currently have 3850 in mine!

There's no maximum number of blocks allowed. Depending on your browser, performance may differ. I've actually had better performance in the blocks editor using Firefox rather than Chrome recently. Your experience may differ depending on your computer's specs.

I gave a talk on Blockly performance in App Inventor at the Google Blockly Summit last year if you're interested in learning more about the performance challenges in blocks languages.
