How-to: Optimize Symfony's forms' performance?

Question

I have a form that is the bottleneck of my ajax-request.

    $order = $this->getDoctrine()
        ->getRepository(\'AcmeMyBundle:Order\')
        ->fin

I also had the same problem with the entity type, I needed to list cities, there were like mire then 4000, what I did basically is to inject the choices into the form. In your controller you ask the Variants from the database, in a repository call, hydrate them as array, and you select only the id and the name, or title, and then you pass into the form, as options value. With this the database part will be much quicker.
