Purpose

ZK Spreadsheet provide various setting for render and cache. Optimal values could be provided for achieve maximum performance.

Client Cache

Use client cache will improve performance when user switch between sheet.

ZK Spreadsheet enable cache by default. To disable cache, use Spreadsheet.setClientCacheDisabled

Max Rendered Cell Size

ZK Spreadsheet loads cell data and also prunes invisible cells (DOM Elements) as well when users scroll sheet. The default setting is 8000, meaning client side will prune cells only when total cell number is more then 8000.

Ideally, if browser in client side could support enough memory space, pruning no cells would provide faster response time; since there is no need to re-create all loaded cells. However, there is always limitation in browser. If the number of loaded cells is outnumbered than what browser could handle, browser may become slow and unstable.

Set proper size by Spreadsheet.setMaxRenderedCellSize

Preload Size

ZK Spreadsheet load cell data base on preloadRowSize/preloadColSize attribute when load sheet and scrolling.

In theory, increase preload size will improve response time. Since cell data may preloaded, no need to send request to server, it will also decrease the number of client/server communcation. However, if preload size is outnumber then needed, client side may need extra time to process extra data. For example, a screen display 50 rows * 30 columns, but preload size is 500 rows * 300 columns, then client side need extra time to process extra data (invisible cells).

Set proper preload size base on sheet's data size by Spreadsheet.setPreloadRowSize and Spreadsheet.setPreloadColumnSize
