These last days, I was wondering if virtualization was still a good solution
in the long term. 

I explain why... The main problem behind the table widget speed is mainly
the number of DOM elements. 
Virtualization in general is really great when dealing with small sized
screens.

But I recently bought a new 27'' lcd screen. In one of my qx projects, I
have a table rendered on the whole page and I must say it becomes really
slow when the screen resolution is high (because all the cell's dom elements
are then taken into account of course). 

As screen resolution increases from year to year, it becomes a real
problem... I'm sure that browsers will become faster and faster at the dom
level in the long term but will it be enough ? 

I think I'll start making experiments with a <canvas> based table (with a
fallback for old browser to the current solution - or possibly flash)... As
<canvas> is hardware accelerated, the speed would still be acceptable and
furthermore, we then avoid the current numerous <div> cells...

Best,

BenoƮt.
