Currently, the autoFitColumn() method shouldn't be used to resize all columns in a large grid, as noted here: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/methods/autofitcolumn

Could this performance be improved by deferring the width calculation?  So a 10 column grid could be completely autoFit with 1 calculation instead of 10.

Could an .AutoFit(true) method be added to the GridColumnBuilder's Fluent Api?  

This would allow me to build columns such as:

.Columns(column => column.Bound(model => model.Value).AutoFit())

This should defer the autofit calculations so that they can be run once for all auto-fitted columns, rather than re-calculating for every column.

In other words, this should NOT simply call autoFitColumn() as it is currently implemented.
