math-matrix 1000 50 (same dimensions as with tabular insert)
matrix shows up almost immediately, and memory: 

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
 1779 leuven    15   0  8000 7972  3640 R     0.0  1.5   0:01 lyx


tabular-insert 1000 50 takes 35 secs to show, and

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
 1779 leuven    15   0 60852  59M  3772 R     0.0 11.8   0:35 lyx

these are *big* differences!
