Performance issue with big data

Gantt
1

Zooming a big data chart gets a big performance issue.
E.g. add a zoom button to your sample view https://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGantt/08_big_dataset.html

In my case, I’ve hundreds of tasks, when zooming, the browser is frozen and get “page unresponsive” error.

Any idea to fix it?

Hello Yong,
That sample has an old Gantt version (4.0.0), you can check the following example with the latest version:

I couldn’t reproduce the issue in the latest version (even with 10000 tasks):

Thanks, enabling smart rendering is key for a large data .
And with show_task_cells = true, it will slow down performance by around 5 times.

Since 2019, Gantt performance has improved significantly, so now, it should be convenient to work with large datasets and different “heavy” features like working time and auto-scheduling.
The dev team released a tool to test various Gantt components including DHTMLX Gantt. The shorter version with the key points is published in the blog:
