Big datagrid in Internet Explorer

[mjkahn]

I have a page the constructs an HTML table with a whopping 45 columns, and then turns it into a datagrid. This works great as long as the table is relatively small (less than about 20 rows), but when the table has many rows (maybe 100), Internet Explorer hangs.  Is this a known issue? Is there any way around it?

I'm using IE8.

Chrome and Firefox take a little time to render the datagrid, but they don't hang.
