Bug 66122 AIX Table performance problem
Reported: 2004-06-08 09:44:50 | Status: resolved fixed

I'm having a performance problem with tables on AIX. I have a table in a view with 30 or so table columns filled with 4,000 rows of data. I have the ability for a user to select a format file for the table that changes which columns of the data are displayed without hiding the view. I do this by disposing the TableColumns and creating new TableColumns based on the format data. When I tested this on OS X (PowerBook G4 500 MHz) the performance was perfectly acceptable. When I moved the code to AIX (Power3 350 MHz I think) the performance was hideous.
