I am trying the jQuery grid and really like the various features. However, compared to other grids I have tested I have found the performance to be much slower in some circumstances. I have a grid with only 6 columns. When the number of rows gets above approximately 1000, the time to sort on a text column can be 2 or 3 seconds. Also, when entering a search text to filter the grid and then clearing the search, it takes several seconds to restore the full list. In every other grid both of these operations are instantaneous even with tens of thousands of records. This is really not acceptable from a user point of view and I wonder why this grid is so much slower than the competition.
