ExtJS Window with multiple grids and combined hbox/vbox layout renders very slow on Internet Explorer

I have a window on which I want to put 4 grids like this

   Grid1 Grid2
   Grid3 Grid4

and I want the grids to auto resize on window resize.

It is simple to do this with combined hbox/vbox layout like I did in the example above:

  Ext.onReady(function () {
      var me = this;
      me.store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
        storeId:'simpsonsStore',
        fields:['name', 'email', 'phone'],
        data:{'items':[
            { 'name': 'Lisa',  "email":"[email protected]",  "phone":"555-111-1224"  }
        ]},
        proxy: {
            type: 'memory',
            reader: {
                type: 'json',
                root: 'items'
            }
        }
    });

      me.g1 = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
        title: 'Simpsons',
            flex: 1,
        store: me.store, 
        columns: [
            { header: 'Name',  dataIndex: 'name' },
            { header: 'Email', dataIndex: 'email', flex: 1 },
            { header: 'Phone', dataIndex: 'phone' }
        ]
    })
    //g2,g3,g4 same with g1

       Ext.create('Ext.window.Window', {
        title: 'Hello',
        height: 400,
        width: 600,
         maximizable: true,
        layout: 'fit',
         items: [{
           xtype: 'container',
           layout: 'fit',
           items: [{
              xtype: 'container',
              layout: {
              type: 'vbox',
              align: 'stretch'
              },
              items:[{
            flex: 1,
            xtype: 'container',
        layout: 'hbox',
        items:[me.g1, me.g2]
          },{
            flex: 1,
            xtype: 'container',
        layout: 'hbox',
        items:[ me.g3, me.g4]
          }]
          }]
         }]
    }).show()
    });

Everything works fine on chrome (the window opens in 1 sec), but on Internet Explorer, the window renders between 3-5 seconds, which is too much.

I also tried to float those 4 grids right and left and it rendered much better on IE, but that way I lose auto scroll on grids (unless I put each one in a fit container...) and when i click a record the grid goes up a number of pixels (~20px)

Any ideas on how to do this to work good on IE as well, without those 3-5 secs of rendering?

I am using ExtJs 4.0.7.

PS: The problem is not the loading of grid stores, they come on callback.

You definitely have more nesting than you need, which can significantly slow down the layout. Try getting rid of the 2 outer containers so it looks more like this:

Ext.create('Ext.window.Window', {
    title: 'Hello',
    height: 400,
    width: 600,
    maximizable: true,
    layout: {
        type: 'vbox',
        align: 'stretch'
    },
    items:[{
        flex: 1,
        xtype: 'container',
        layout: {
            type: 'hbox',
            align: 'stretch'
        },
        items:[me.g1, me.g2]
    },{
        flex: 1,
        xtype: 'container',
        layout: {
            type: 'hbox',
            align: 'stretch'
        },
        items:[me.g3, me.g4]
    }]
}).show()

You might also consider initializing your window as hidden, then just show/hide it as you need it instead of re-creating it each time.
