How to set best column width in fastest way in wxpython grid?

I have a notebook with 5 pages, grid objects on each page. Each grid has 3000 rows and 4000 columns. I add employee name and surnames in first 2 columns in each page. I want to make sure all columns are set to best size so that each name is completely visible, therefore I use self.AutoSize(). But it takes too long time. When I comment out self.AutoSize(), execution time is reduced significantly. Thus I want to use self.SetColSize(int col, int width) method instead. Since I know each employee names and surnames, I can set the column size to longest name/surname.

But how do I convert the name/surname length to pixels? For example, if longest surname in column is "Rooney", then what should be the column size in pixels?

The GetTextExtent should be the way to go. However I have never used it together with grid.
