Performance

Performance has been improved since HTML 5 generation has been added which means less jscript and html to get more with less.
HTML and jscript has been reduced resulting in up to 25% less data transfers,
specially if grids are involved , which results in improved applications experience too.
Paging, in Grids and in Data Providers, are now resolved by the DBMS improving the response time.
