8000 rows is too many to display at once. Even a HTML file probably take a while to load, and the scrollbars become almost unusable because you don't have the fidelity to narrow in on a row. The slow script warning happens when you block the UI for too long (sometimes measured in seconds, other times in lines of execution).
You're better off using a pager, but if you really want to load 8,000 rows, you can break it into chunks. CellTable uses a push API, which means you can push data in segments and they will be appeneded to the end. The process would look like: 1. Send asynchronous request for 250 rows 2. On response, push 250 rows into CellTable 3. Go back to step 1 The above method has two advantages. First, you only request 250 rows at a time, which means a faster RPC call and less time deserializing the response, so your startup time will be much faster. Second, you only render 250 rows per event loop, so the browser doesn't lock up while populating the table. The additional rows are appended to the end of the table. You can play around with different row counts to get the best performance tradeoff. You might even load 50 on the first call for max startup time, then switch to 500 to reduce the load on the sever.
