Setup

var koModel = function() {
      var self = this;
      self.Items = ko.observableArray([]);
      self.update = function() {
        self.Items(mapModel());
      };
    };
    
    var jqModel = function() {
      this.Items = mapModel();
    };
    
    function mapModel() {
      var arr = [];
      console.log('test mapModel start');
      for (var t = 0; t < 100; t++) {
        arr.push({
          Col1: "C1R" + t.toString(),
          Col2: "C2R" + t.toString(),
          Col3: "C3R" + t.toString(),
          Col4: "C4R" + t.toString(),
          Col5: "C5R" + t.toString(),
          Col6: "C6R" + t.toString(),

        });
      }
      console.log(arr);
