Performance issue with Handsontable when cell is set as autocomplete/dropdown and we feed the 'source' property a large array

We are currently using Handsontable to render a table with anywhere from 500-1500 rows and 70+ columns. I have set one of the columns to be an autocomplete and feeding it a source array with 7000-10000 options, but after doing so, Handsontable become unresponsive/slow/crashing. Are there known limitations in terms of performance with passing such a large source array? We decreased the size of source to 2000 and and it working much better.

Handsontable 8.3.x

Hi @victorh

We are working on performance with each iteration of Handsontable. However there might some limitations with very big data. If it’s possible, please upgrade Handsontable to the newest version - which is 11.0.1, and see if that helps with the performance.

Hi @victorh

I was curious if you had time to update and found it beneficial for the performance.
