adding many rows to grid is slow

[MrWinkyParticipant]

When I initialize the grid – I wanted to add 5000 blank lines in the grid’s ready() function. I was using begin/resumeupdate as recommended but this is still very slow. Is there a faster way to add that many lines to the grid?

$("#jqxGrid").jqxGrid('beginupdate', true);
while (index++ < 5000){
    $("#jqxGrid").jqxGrid('addrow', null, {});
 }
$("#jqxGrid").jqxGrid('resumeupdate');

Hi MrWinky,

5000 rows added through a For Loop with method call in each iteration will take time and it should take time because you update the underlying data and re-render the Grid 5000 times. It would be better if you call the method 1 time as shown in the documentation. For example http://jsfiddle.net/jqwidgets/6kffhn30/ – the sample shows how to add 5000 rows dynamically and it takes < 1 sec. Hope that such performance time is OK for you.
