Hey Guys,

We're working hard to reduce the rendering times for all our controls and we'll publish similar articles with similar reccomendations for other our controls in the future, when needed.

Recently we made some major improvements for all of our ASPx controls in the v8.1 release:

The ASPxGridView and our other controls are fairly light and fast by default. And with server mode, they're very fast.

Thanks.

Interesting table! As Julio, I can only emphasize it would be nice having those numbers for other controls as well.
