I am totally new to Google-apps-script and this may be very poor question
I am making a basic setup using google forms and google apps script
From the responses of form I change my content in Google Spreadsheet accordingly
For example my query from form needed 10000 records to be selected and produced in whole another spreadsheet
I just wanted to know that is there some kind of delay introduced when I set and get values of any cell of spreadsheet on such a large scale? If so on what it depends and how as a programmer can I remove or optimize them?
Thanks is advance!

The Best Practices article by Google is the primary reference for this. The most important advice is to minimize the number of calls to spreadsheet methods by batching operations. So, select a range that contains all the records you need, get them all at once with getValues, process without further interaction with the spreadsheet, and output the result using setValues.
If you follow this advice, 10000 records is still a reasonable amount of data to process by a script.
