TIWCGJQGridOptions.GridView Property

In the previous versions of jqGrid including 3.4.X,reading a relatively big data sets (Rows >=100 ) caused speed problems. The reason for this was that as every cell was inserted into the grid we applied about 5-6 jQuery calls to it. Now this problem is resolved; we now insert the entry row at once with a jQuery append. The result is impressive - about 3-5 times faster. What will be the result if we insert all the data at once? Yes, this can be done with a help of gridview option when set to true. The result is a grid that is 5 to 10 times faster. Of course when this option is set to true we have some limitations. If set to true we can not use treeGrid, subGrid, or afterInsertRow event. If you do not use these three options in the grid you can set this option to true and enjoy the speed.
