Flexigrid - Lightweight but rich data grid

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi Paulo,

is this thread still live or should everyone move to the http://groups.google.com/group/flexigrid group instead?

first of all thanks for this great plugin. i started playing jQuery
and this plug in for about a week. one problem i am encountering is
the speed while loading the results in the grid. when i limit the rp
to 15, the response is fine, however if i set the rp to 250 then
loading the data retrieved is very slow.

201 rows of data is being returned from MSSQL in 158ms(0.158 seconds)
according to firebug (which if fine). but during the actual parsing of
the JSON data it takes 17000ms (17 seconds).

i'm considering utilizing flexigrid in a production environment to
connect to MSSQL dbs (with hundreds of thousands of records) using
PHP. im also building additional plugins for download/email of the
data for flexigrid

do you have any ideas as to why it takes so long? or any ideas as to
how to speedup processing? would XML be any better? my current
development is on an intranet, so i will provide a link once i have
made it available on the internet.

Thanks. http://groups.google.com/group/flexigrid
