Hi,

I've been working on a GUI project using Tk, specifically the Table module in Tk. The table has 6000+ elements, and I've been using Tk label widgets for each cell in the table. The labels are useful to me because I can format the cells as needed.

It looks like the size of the table is causing the program to generate very slowly, likely due to the overhead of the widgets. The program will also crash/freeze up on exit, and the only way to close it is to go into the task manager and end the task.
Please let me know if there's something I can do to remedy this issue, or if there are some alternatives that will make things quicker in my GUI.

Thanks,
rmarion
