Datagrid2 Form view slow down.

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

Thanks Bob,

You don't need to invoke DG2. All old DGs are 'converted' (for want of a
better word) to v2. The engine handles this.

Faster DataGrid Performance: As stated, that was a quote from the original
kickstarter (or whatever) campaign just as background to show that it was
intended to improve performance for HTML5 as well as mobile and desktop (as
html5 is my main area of concern at the moment), not mobile alone (although
it was mainly requested for mobile). So, by default, performance for DG
should go up for ALL platforms because of bringing up the efficiency of
"the way it creates, removes and caches objects". This stands to reason.

Note: None of the new features are included in the Guide as yet so you need
to refer to the release notes for 9.0, 9.0.5 and 9.5 to get an
understanding of these. Although the notes do not make it completely clear
about all of the features as yet. Hopefully soon they will employ a
dedicated copywriter who loves making dictionaries and guides to bring it
all up to date.

Still, hopefully an understanding of 'adornments' (as the dictionary seems
to shed no light on this) will help answer this.
