Thank you for contacting us.
Because of the complexity and size of RadGrid control, combined with handling large amounts of HTML by the browser, the RadGrid's performance may decrease or it can use greater amount of machine’s resources. This behavior is expected in case you are having several RadGrids.
Still there are several suggestions for optimizing the RadGrid’s performance. Here you can read a full list of what is recommended in order to improve RadGrid’s performance and CPU utilization.
In most cases significant optimization in RadGrid’s performance is seen when ViewState is disabled. However disabling ViewState is not always the best suggestion because this depends of the operations and data binding you are using. In our online help article for Optimizing ViewState usage you can read more regarding this topic.
Give these approaches a try and let us know how it goes.
