UI performance and large data set in Table Object

[mfstuart]

Hi Richard,
My day job is a software engineer, using another software development tool -
eDeveloper.
The product we build (CRM) is for enterprise sized companies, working on
large amounts of SQL data.
eDeveloper does not produce this UI lack of performance during runtime. This
is how I noticed the difference in behavior.
As far as Excel and Rev, both load the data into memory, which I would
assume then declines the available resources, causing the issue at hand.
Whereas the table object in our software is reading the data continually
(??) from the database, caching when needed, so the lack of performance is
never noticed.
