title: Loading/Displaying large amount of data on webpage
body: <p>I have a webpage which contains a table for displaying a large amount of data (on average from 2,000 to 10,000 rows).
  This page takes a long time to load/render. Which is understandable.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, while the page is loading the PCs memory usage skyrockets (500mb on my test system is in use by iexplorer) and the whole PC grinds to a halt until it has finished, which can take a minute or two. IE hangs until it is complete, switching to another running program is the same.</p>
  
  <p>I need to fix this - and ideally i want to accomplish 2 things:</p>
  
  <p>1) Load individual parts of the page seperately. So the page can render initially without the large data table. A loading div will be placed there until it is ready.</p>
  
  <p>2) Dont use up so much memory or local resources while rendering - so at least they can use a different tab/application at the same time.</p>
  
  <p>How would I go about doing both or either of these?</p>
  
  <p>I'm an applications programmer by trade so i am still a little fizzy on the things I can do in a web environment.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers all.</p>
