If you had an html table of 10 or so columns,
and you apply the jQuery DataTables plugin to the table,
at what point (approximately) should one expect
the number of table rows to adversely affect browser-rendering
performance?
I think it really depends on what you’re rendering in each table row element and how many columns you have. If you’re just doing text, I’ve experienced slowdown after a few hundred rows, with a mysql server on the same machine as the webhost. If you’re placing image elements or event handlers with each row, expect slowdown to happen with fewer rows. A good idea is to get a browser that easily shows you load times, like Chrome, Safari, and Firefox+firebug.
