i have been looking at jqgrid, telerik.
does anyone have any performance metric comparisons or have any other alternative that they think is faster.
I am a fan of DataTables.net. I've not had any performance issues with it and it's quite straightforward to use.
Ok - I just built a quick and dirty version of the datatables and the jqgrid - loaded 1000 rows of data from an sql database and performed console.time tests in firebug.
The results where surprisingly similar with datatables barely edging out jqgrid in some situations - not enough to choose one over the other purely on performance (imo).
