FixedColumns performance in the upcoming version

Artjom

Hello.

Currently we are unable to transition to a newer jQuery version (from 1.5.2) and have to use Datatables 1.9.4 and FixedColumns 2.0.3. Lately it became evident that page loading is noticeably slow when FixedColumns is applied to some tables that have more than 100 rows.

1. How do the upcoming datatables and fixed columns compare performance-wise to their previous versions?

2. How can we improve the performance of current FixedColumns version?

Thanks,
Artjom

Newer versions will be faster. DT 1.10-pre beta is a good bit faster that 1.9 for example. However the killer in FixedColumns is the row height matching. Everything else pales into insignificance compared to that.

For that, use CSS row height matching: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/FixedColumns/css_size.html
