title: SmartGWT ListGrid is slow, but only in Internet Explorer
body: <p>We have migrated from gwtext to SmartGWT and overall the experience is Ok. However, we have big problems with the ListGrid component of SmartGWT. </p>
  
  <p>It is very slow if both of the following conditions are met:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Internet Explorer is used</li>
  <li>5 or more columns</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>the speed will decrease if you add more columns up to the point where the whole thing is unusable and you have to kill the browser, e.g. through the windows task manager.</p>
  
  <p>Grids with 1 column are fine in internet explorer</p>
  
  <p>Grids with a large number of columns are fine in Firefox, opera</p>
  
  <p>In the SmartGWT forums I've found two entries that are about this problem, but none of the suggested workarounds has fixed the problem. </p>
