 * I am experiencing difficulty with a table I have created that has grown to 240
   rows, 6 columns in the WordPress Admin Console. When editing my Table ID: 1 the
   browser becomes extremely slow and sluggish. I’ve tested on multiple computers\
   Web Browsers with the same result. I’ve exported the table to a .CSV which consists
   of a file size of 33KB which is not very large, yet it brings any web browser
   to a crawl.
 * Previous to this, I had experienced a problem where TablePress was not allowing
   me to create any further row entries in my table. To which I had to increase 
   the Memory_Limit from 32MB to 128MB in the MultiPHP.ini. This doesn’t make any
   sense, it shouldn’t require more memory resources for working with a 33KB TablePress
   file.
 * There seems to be some serious performance issues while using TablePress from
   the admin portal. I was hoping some type of optimizations can be done for it 
   to work more efficiently? My main concern is just very slow performance navigating
   my table with 240 rows and 6 columns from the WordPress admin portal. It is almost
   unusable.
 * The end user experience on the website seems to work just fine. Smaller tables
   with less rows seem to work just fine in the TablePress Admin Portal as well.
   My Table Press data fields consist of plain text and hyperlinks only. I am puzzled
   as to why it is running so slow?
 * Kind Regards,
    Paul

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this usually is the large number of text input fields when editing
   large tables. All browsers have problems managing that large number of fields,
   unfortunately. There is no solution to this at this time, unfortunately, but 
   I’m working on completely restructuring the “Edit” screen, so that this will 
   be faster in the future.
 * In the meantime, a good workaround might be to edit the table e.g. in Excel and
   then save it as a CSV file, which can again be imported into TablePress.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thank you for the prompt reply and I look forward to seeing the future update.
   In the meantime I’ll try the manual Excel Import approach.

 * I wanted to follow up with regard to my performance problems. While I was testing
   with Chrome and Internet Explorer with poor performance with large tables I have
   since tried FireFox and what a world of difference that has made. Firefox seems
   to handle large tables much better than the previous mentioned browsers. It is
   totally usable now using Firefox. I am not sure why or how Firefox handles this
   better, but it does.

 * Hi,
 * yes, the browser handle this very differently. A while a go, Internet Explorer/
   Edge was the fastest with large tables, but it seems that Firefox is catching
   up.
