I'm currently investigating a browser-freezing problem when using a large number of columns. I'm having a bit of trouble where to look because I'm rather new to browser/JS profiling.
However, I *think* what's happening is that the browser chokes on reflow. Because many of the bottlenecks are single statements - they are getting or setting sizes. Which I presume cause a storm of recomputations for something as complex as a table with so much columns. Maybe there's also a possible influence from the Scroller add-on (release 1.2.0) ?
For a smaller number of columns there seems to be no problem.
Is this a problem already familiar to somebody in here ?
Or any hint what alternatives I can try ? Preferably by maintaining that many columns. :-)
Thanks !
