Actually there is a way to make it fast. Things may become faster if you reduce number of HTML "input"s from HTML DOM.
Just remove them from HTML and rewrite submit logic to your own. You may replace checkboxes with images. Replace those images with real checkboxes when user hovers this image or changes focus using TAB key (to make him ability to click on it). The same could be done for input type='text' and all the controls. For inputs you may show text value inplace and only show editor when use clicks on it, etc. In this case you will only have few DOM elements and the page will weight less and run faster. But in this case as you understand you will have to write client-side input's state management manually in javascript. Probably store it in some json object and post that object on submit. And you will have to write your own server-side logic to parse and handle that json object. This isn't that hard actually. I used this approach in one of my projects on a similar heavy page.
