ServerSide with Language File drawing table twice.

I have created a small plugin which I use to create DataTables easily with some extra functionality.
No matter if I use it without my small jQuery plugin or with it, I still have the same problem.

Problem:
1. If I'm using server side with language file, data (ajax) source (sAjaxSource) is called twice.

Some additional problems;

1. If language file is used, there is no delay for search input. It is sending request to search ajax source file each time a key is pressed thus causing extremely slow searches.

2. I don't know if it is just me when DataTables is used with ajax source, there is a width problem which is causing the scroll bar to appear in the table without server side feature everything is just as expected.

Preview : http://live.datatables.net/ivisax
P.S. preview is not functional due to using server side features with my small plugin.

Thank you for your time and help in advance.

    Use the http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnSetFilteringDelay plug-in to add a bit of debounce.

    Can you link me to a working test case showing this issue?

    Thanks,

    Hello Allan,

    Thank you for your reply. Well I can send you the link but it is in admin panel. I also would have to send you an account information for you to access. However I don't see any PM option here.

    If you have checked my small plugin (the preview link, source code), I have fixed it with a small jQuery code. That's why it is not really that important.

    Do you have any idea about the first main problem?

    If I'm not mistaken this problem occurred since DataTables 1.9.x. It is loading the data twice thus making pages slower.

    Once again, thank you for your reply and help.
