Pyrevit: out.print_table takes too much runtime

[kuldeep3618x]

The out.print_table() takes too much runtime when I have more than 100 rows of Items.
Example -as below:
I am trying to pull out information\elements in a particular Workset.
The script runs fine, but when I have more than 100 elements to display, the runtime is about 5 mins for 300 items.

Please suggest, how I could speed up this command, or a walkaround.

*out.print_table Example*

for items in collector_of_workset_element_by_level:
            out.print_table(table_data = items, title = 'Elements in the Workset- {}'.format(userInputcategory_lvl),\
                        columns = ['Level','Category', 'Name','Element Id'], formats = ['','','',''])

Is it intentional that you are printing 300 individual tables instead of One table with 300 rows?

[kuldeep3618x]

Its one table with 300 Row.

[eirannejad]

Put all the 300 rows in the table_data and run out.print_table only once

I did try that but since there is more than 1000 items, it did reduce the time, but I found it impractical to display 20000 items as Output, so I went ahead and I am directly exporting the data to Excel, which is much faster.

Alternatively for cases where I need to highlight elements and their ids with errors, i have highlighting the elements 200 at a time. Please find as below:
