Yeah, it behaves differently in different parts of the application,
and in different browsers. Opera seems to be able to handle in a bit
better, but still causes very high CPU loads on my old MacBook. Using
the copy/paste trick really helps. It would seem that there needs to
be a bit of delay when the filter is executed, for instance 300 ms (or
some value after a bit of experimentation) the user stops typing, or
after the user enters a carriage return. I am not sure what the
utility of filtering while the user is type is. Normally, you know in
your head what the filter is (mumps, leprosy, etc). You would want to
type this, and then execute the filter. If this was implemented,
pagination would be a nice to have, but in my case Opera reloads a 2.3
MB DOM each time. The dataset filtering seems to be particularly
troublesome.
