DataTables render very slowly

legends

Scenario:
Sample taken from the datatable.net example section whose markup has about 70 rows, so not pretty much.

Issue:
Desktop: It takes up to two seconds, from the time the initial table is seen and until it is fully rendered.
On mobile: It can take up to 8 seconds until the table is rendered, but usually takes 6s. During this time I cannot do anything on the page, the ui is frozen.

What could this be? This only happens on the datatable page nowhere else.
I found a 5 year old question on SO which describes the issue:
stackoverflow.com/q/7630780/2581562

2 seconds on desktop is already unacceptable, but 8 seconds is ....

So there is no ajax or whatever involved, the data is static HTML.

Sample taken from the datatable.net example section....

Which example? Are you saying that the example in here "takes up to two seconds"?

I use the examples from your site, so no big data involved.

When I enable responsive= true, it takes up to 4 times longer then responsive=false !

See this comaparison I made within chrome:

Not responsive:

Responsive:

As you can see,rendering time increases by a factor of 3-4 for each of the 5 tables.

Could you link to a page showing the issue please? 1.8 seconds is a really long time! Obviously including Responsive in a table will increase the processing time since it needs to perform a lot more DOM calculations which are of course seriously slow, but 1.8 seconds is very slow.
