Table freezes/ consumes big CPU load when updating settings

Getting help Questions
1

Hi,

I have a question around the performance of handsontable: I work with a fairly large dataset (50000x12) and have an interface window that allows my user to update the format of columns (mostly numbers, so you can adjust decimal places) and hide or show columns.

I can update things individually and they work just fine, but when I combine the updateSettings with the plugin hiddenColumns my browser freezes and it takes a significant while to finish.

Can you advise if I can do something against that? or is that the expected behavior?
