That means the paging has to be done server side anyway.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The part about selecting rows (e.g. an API call that returns the right 100 rows, based on which page you're on/start position) generally has to be on the server. But it could return a 100-element JSON array and let a client-side template engine render that.
