# DataTable Performance Tracking

## v1: Minimal Foundation
- **Data**: 10,000 items, 1 column.
- **Scroll Test**: 100 scrolls (20,000px total).
- **Results**:
  - refreshCount: 101
  - refreshTime (total): ~45.7ms
  - averageRefreshTime: **0.45ms**
  - totalNodes: 3030 (avg 30/frame)
- **Notes**: Silk smooth, base VirtualScroll works perfectly.

## v4: Optimized Responsiveness (Immediate Refresh)
- **Data**: 10,000 items, 10 columns.
- **Scroll Test**: 100 scrolls (20,000px total).
- **Results**:
  - refreshCount: 101
  - refreshTime (total): ~101.2ms
  - averageRefreshTime: **1.01ms**
  - totalNodes: 3030
- **Notes**: Removed `.dt-body` wrapper to simplify DOM depth. Changed `onScroll` to execute `container.refresh()` immediately instead of wrapping it in `requestAnimationFrame`.

## v5: Zero-Scan Extreme Performance
- **Data**: 10,000 items, 10 columns.
- **Scroll Test**: 100 scrolls (20,000px total).
- **Results**:
  - refreshCount: 101
  - refreshTime (total): ~100-120ms
  - averageRefreshTime: **1.0ms - 1.2ms**
  - totalNodes: 6060 (avg 60/frame)
  - **scanCount (per frame)**: **0** (Achieved Zero-Scan status)
  - **moveCount (per frame)**: 60 (Exact match for row count)
- **Notes**: 
  - Optimized framework `dom.js` to avoid redundant sub-tree scans during identity-based node reuse.
  - Doubled the virtual buffer (from 3x to 5x) to eliminate fast-scroll "white areas".
  - Switched from CSS Grid to Flexbox for lower layout overhead.
  - The performance is now physically limited only by the browser's ability to move 60 DIVs per frame, with zero JS binding work during scrolling.
