I would like to provide an update -- if you comment out lines 796, 797, and 987, conditions on the questions aren't recalculated -- that is expected.

However, what I have also noticed is that the conditions are then removed for all questions. And running the Survey Logic File doesn't restore them.

I had to uncomment the lines just before the survey went live, open a question, save the question, and then all my conditions were reapplied.

@c_schmitz : it's in hacking code, not on limeservice.

Without hacking : ~20 seconds on limeservice (free limeservice)

With hacking (disable reset EM) : No speed issue (on own server).

@blocka: How did you notice all conditions were removed? Were they gone n the interface? Or did the survey just not use them?

Conditions were not displayed on the Question summary page, and conditions were not used when I ran the survey.
But once I uncommented the code I had removed, edited and saved a question, the conditions were reapplied to the questions and worked on front-end survey.

Hello blocka,
This ticket has been open for quite some time.

Hi everyone
Confirmed, this issue persists in LimeSurvey 5.4.2+220921, tested with a survey of approximately 400 questions.
Saving takes more than 5 minutes (my steps: 1. Delete language, 2. save)

Re-ordering of questions takes similarly a very long time - but I am not sure, if this is directly related (?)
