[jQuery] tablesorter Speed issues

[jQuery] tablesorter Speed issues


Hi folks,
I've just started using tablesorter for one of my projects, and overall I
love it. Does just what I need.
The one issue I've come across is that it's S-L-O-W! On a small table, it's
just fine. Once I get up to about 400 rows, however, it takes a long time.
6 seconds before the list appears sorted, and another 10 seconds before I
actually regain control of the browser (Firefox 3.08 / Win32 in this case).
Is this normal? Should it really take that long to sort 400 rows of data?
I could understand if it were 4,000 rows, but 400 doesn't seem like much.
In fact it would probably be quicker to just do a round-trip to the server
and let the database do the sorting.
I'm looking for some practical experience and / or suggestions from anyone
who may be working with tablesorter on large tables.
Thanks!
- Bryan
