Running data tables in embedded device

rajeshu2484

Hi Allan,

Good morning! We are using data tables for doing something unique - running it in a hybrid app written using QT 5.7 in a embedded environment. The CPU is just 1Ghz dual core. An empty grid initialisation takes 2-3s and to load 1000 records which is the max the embedded device can hold due to memory constraints, it takes 20s with scroller plugin enabled.

This is leading to a sluggish user experience. Having said this, I understand that datatables was probably never designed for embedded environments. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a way to speed up this process of init and binding data to a more acceptable level? We are using data tables 1.10.0. Will upgrading to higher version solve the performance issues we are facing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Allan

Any comment on my question is really appreciated.

One thing I tried today is using pagination instead of scroll plugin and the load time reduced to 4s for 1000 records. Is such a load time possible by using the scroll plugin as well by tweaking datatable settings?

Thank you.
