IE hanging in case of huge data in web application

[Guest]

I'm working on a Web based application. In case of huge data, my reports are
generating after taking a hell lot of time. I'm getting huge number of soft
page faults. My IE is trying to read data from page files when it's already
present in the cache. Looks like constantly shuffling between page files and
the RAM. Also tell me if there's a way to set the working set or working
memory size for IE alone as the working memory should be close to the memory
allocation.

I'll take a guess that you're rendering the data in large
HTML tables with many cells. That's going to give you a lot
of problems. IE (and most other browsers) tend to choke very
badly if your table is close to or larger than say 10,000
cells. The exact number will depend on many variables.

You may well need to use a non-table based layout. Or
maybe use Excel to render the data.

I have such an application and I can pretty much crash
any browser with it, anytime I choose!

Big HTML tables == Big trouble
