Will Object.observe provide a significant boost to Angularjs?

Question

Right now, Angular slows down after a few thousand objects, which prevents us from building something like a spreadsheet or Conway's Game of Life.

Once Object.observe is implement (in the far, far future), will these become possible with Angular? Or will DOM manipulation be the chokepoint?

Answer 2

If you are interested in trying to solve a problem like this now, I recommend taking a look at this video from the AngularJS NYC Meetup from last year which talks about performance problems encountered while trying to implement similar scenarios.
