Can it handle say 1 million rows, by lazily creating the DOM elements when the scroll into view (like, say, SlickGrid)

Can you read 1 million rows at a time like Neo :P

Jokes aside, no it cannot, not yet anyway. This is version 0.1 and I really have no intension of cloning SlickGrid. That said, the infrastructure is here

http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/176tvf/backgridj...

and avoiding DOM repainting is on the top of my list for version 0.2.

This should take only 3 lines of code.

PR welcome!
