The copy/paste operation is done at client side. So the performance is related to the client side machine. Currently, the performance is limited by the javascript. We will study this issue and try to improve this feature.
Well, When you set the paging... say 20 rows per page, and If you copy/paste data to the page only first 20 records will be pasted. Either you have to eliminate or accomodate the paging to embed more rows on the page. We have considered your requirement and will enhance copy/paste operation to accomodate all the data to the pages soon.
Thanks for the light. I'm waiting for your solution (can you disclose the time frame?). If it can help you any how, I noticed that the slow rendering behaviour also appear when I set a large value for maxrow (ex: 20,000; just loading the page is long, even with no data, no nothing).
