Because he constructs a giant JSON by joining individual entries. Rendering that directly on the DOM will always cause the performance issues (even at the 10k entries). That's why you need to use virtualized list, it can be done in plain JS or using libraries like react-virtualized.

This works, plain JS 150k rows

        #viewport {

The exact error is "Maximum call stack size exceeded" when the WASM- engine is replaced with this JS engine:

There is currently no demo about the crash, but you can setup this locally.
