Discussion

By default, NSTableView iterates every row in the table, accesses a cell via preparedCell(atColumn:row:), and requests the cellSize to find the appropriate largest width to use.

For accurate results and performance, it’s recommended that this method is implemented when using large tables. By default, large tables use a Monte Carlo simulation instead of iterating every row.
