Hello,
a has size for example (20,70000). If I insert a into uitable in GUI, than moving slide up/down or right/left is executing so slowly.
How can I executet ot faster?
Thank you?

No, not really...same problem, you can't display more than 100 or so characters comfortably horizontally, either, and as you can see, the GUI just can't deal with the magnitude easily. You need a window into the file content for the display.

This is not a job for an uitable. It is simply not meaningful to display such a huge pile of data in a user interface. It is like asking for a diagram with millions of X-values. Neither a monitor, nor the human eye can copy with this amount of data. Therefore uitable is not designed to contain such a pile of data.
Therefore I suggest not to try to accelerate the display, but to choose another method for a visualization.

Try cropping the string to lets say... 50 chars, and add 'More...' string indicating that there's more data. who reads 70 000 chars anyway?
