Hi,
thanks for your question.
The mentioned limit for the numbers of rows is twofold here: One has to distinguish between limits on the “Edit” screen and on the frontend.
For the handling and performance on the “Edit” screen, the thumbnails do not play a role. They are treated as pure HTML code which again is treated as text.
On the frontend, this is different though. There, TablePress will always load all rows of the table first, before applying the pagination and other functions.
It might therefore (depending on the browser) be possible that more images are loaded than necessary. Therefore, a reduced file size (i.e. width/height are not that important) could lead to faster loading.
However, if you are concerned about performance, better results should be possible with a different server side loading. For example, you could develop custom scripts that only load the necessary data from a mySQL database.

Hi Tobias,
Related to the above question regarding the number of rows possible on the “Edit” screen, is there a way to increase what TablePress can handle? So far, 1,000 rows appears to be the most I can get to import from a CSV file.
I have a few tables that contain more than 5,000 rows and I would like to be able to present them without breaking them up into separate tables.
Hi,
thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
The CSV import problem is actually different to the “Edit” screen problem. For the import, there’s most likely a server problem, like the PHP memory limit being reached.
To work around this, splitting the table into smaller chunks can actually help: You can then use the “Append” functionality on the “Import” screen to merge them to a big table again.
However, you’ll then run into the problem of the “Edit” screen being slow (with 5000 rows on them), and unfortunately, I don’t have a fix to that yet.

OK, we’ll make do with workarounds until a fix is available. Thanks.
Hi,
I forgot one thing for the import issue: You could try to fix that by increasing the WP/PHP Memory limit, by following the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
With that, you might be able to upload/import the full table at once.

Tobias
