title: jQuery datatables plugin too slow - need a replacement
body: <p>I've been using jQuery <a href="http://datatables.net/">datatables plugin</a> for about two years now and it worked great so far. The problem occured now when I need to load about <strong>45000</strong> records at once (you click the button and wait for the page with the data to load) - the loading time is just too big to wait.</p>
  
  <p>Here are the tests I made using Chrome web browser (the data is from it's Network tab using ):</p>
  
  <p><em>datatables plugin turned on:</em><br>
  <strong>5476</strong> records:<br>
  <code>24 requests  ❘  256.26KB transferred  ❘  19.80s<br>
  (onload: 19.80s, DOMContentLoaded: 18.58s)</code><br>
  <strong>45071</strong> records:<br>
  <code>34 requests  ❘  1.85MB transferred  ❘  11.1min<br>
  (onload: 11.1min, DOMContentLoaded: 11.0min)</code>  </p>
  
  <p><em>datatables plugin turned off (the jQuery datatables initialization is comented out):</em><br>
  <strong>5476</strong> records:<br>
  <code>21 requests  ❘  255.84KB transferred  ❘  6.57s<br>
  (onload: 13.26s, DOMContentLoaded: 13.28s)</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>45071</strong> records:<br>
  <code>31 requests  ❘  1.84MB transferred  ❘  2.0min<br>
  (onload: 2.0min, DOMContentLoaded: 2.0min)</code></p>
  
  <p>The <em>increase in load time</em> that datatables make is over <strong>80%</strong> for the 45k rows, and almost <strong>40%</strong> for the 5k rows. </p>
  
  <p>So I was wondering if you guys know of any similar plugin that handles alot of rows (45000+) faster, or am I just missing the point by trying to load all 45000+ records in "one go"?</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions are appreciated!</p>
