[PyQt] Large Table Example in PyQt4

[Brian Kelley]

You have two large culprits here:

tv.resizeColumnsToContents()

and

for row in xrange(nrows):
             tv.setRowHeight(row, 18)


Both can take a very long period of time.

resizeColumnsToContents is the worst offender as it has to scan every  
piece of data in your column, determine its size and populate the  
internal arrays.  It is better to have a heuristic for this and set  
the sizes yourself (look at horizontalHeader() for instance)

For row height, see the QTableView::sizeHintForRow()
