As I've said in the thread I referenced before, it's very simple to pass an array and recode it in the client to a dict. I do this here and haven't noticed a big hit on speed. As it works on blocks of 50 or so items at once there won't be a big impact at any given instant. Having said that I use one character column IDs! Also, being able to store other information with the row is great for my custom row renderer and for other things that hang off the table, like menus which depend on row content (but not necessarily visible row content, like permissions).
