Quick Answer
Massive lists/grids in jQuery: always paginate on the server - never load 100K records to the client. Use a virtual scroll library (clusterize.js, virtual-scroll) that renders only visible rows. For DataTables with large datasets, use server-side processing mode - DataTables only requests the current page. DOM performance degrades exponentially with node count - keep rendered nodes minimal.
