  The thing which really slows down FixedColumns is the row height matching between the fixed column and the main table body. How slow this is is directly linked to the number of rows you have - the more rows, the slower it is. There isn't a huge amount that can be done about that, so I included in FixedColumns to option to have the height pre-determinated, like in this example: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/FixedColumns/css_size.html .
  
  That might work for you, it might not (since all rows need to be of the same height). If not, then you might need to consider using let rows in the table, or some other performance improvement I've not yet thought of :-)

  Thanks Allan,
  
  I did not notice that there is a fixed height option available. I will give it a shot.
  
  Cheers

  Hi again, Allan.
  
  I have tired to use fixed height for my table and it really works out much faster.
  
  Thanks for your advice.
  
  Cheers,
  Gary
