micker, the html display of field will not be created (=rendered) unless you place them in a template position.

This applies for both item and category layout of the template.

You have 2 alternatives
-- 1. is to change the Global performance option that you changed, (it is ok to do it for item view but for category view it does a lot of damage to performance)
-- 2. is to put the field in the 'renderonly' position, so that its html display is created.

Because of your comment i see we need some more user help about the 'renderonly' position.

I will put this text to help the users:
* about 'renderonly' template position. Here you must place the fields that you output manually in your template e.g. by using for item and category view
$this->item->fields->display
or
$items[$i]->fields->display

To see the execution time of any component:

You can enable the Debug System, at joomla Global configuration

Then at the bottom of the page you will see times after some joomla events:

Application afterLoad: 0.001 seconds, 0.53 MB
Application afterInitialise: 0.164 seconds, 6.38 MB
Application afterRoute: 0.247 seconds, 9.81 MB
Application afterDispatch: 1.948 seconds, 36.20 MB
Application afterRender: 2.667 seconds, 39.08 MB

The component execution time is (almost):
afterDispatch - afterRoute

The total joomla page execution time is (almost):
afterRender

Then you have:
-- Time to get request to server (small)
-- Total joomla page execution time
-- Time to download page (very small for local server)
-- Time for browser to render the html (small)
