[support] CCK - Content types with lots of fields

[Metzler, David]

Depending on how the solutions are developed the back button may behave
differently.  Multi-part forms have this trouble in Drupal because they
use the "op" action to tell what page you're on.  Pageroute is likely to
behave better with the back button than some others.  I'd recommend
being careful to test back/forward button behaviors with these
solutions.

Good to know - this is the kind of info I'm looking to gather.  Anyone
else know of any caveats?

Also note that its been reported that sites with both many (like 40, 50 
?) cck fields *and* Views module can
result in high memory consumption. Still an open issue...
