Fixed width tables are rendered by the browser based on the
widths of the columns in the first row, resulting in a faster display in case of
large tables. Use the CSS style table-layout:fixed to specify a fixed width
table. If the table is not specified to be of fixed width, the browser has
to wait till all data is downloaded and then infer the best width for each of
the columns. This process can be very slow for large tables.
