JQuery Datatables makeEditable() issues with large dataset

I'm following this tutorial to implement cell editing in JQuery datatables with MVC4.

Links to the plugins used are:

1. jQuery DataTables plug-in v1.7.5., including the optional DataTables CSS style-sheets used for applying the default styles on the page
2. jQuery Jeditable plug-in v1.6.2., required for inline cell editing
3. jQuery validation plug-in v1.7., for implementation of client-side validation
4. jQuery DataTables Editable plug-in that integrates all these mentioned plug-ins into a fully functional editable datatable.

To achieve the effect of creating the editable datatable you simply have to include the following as part of your script

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
       $('#myDataTable').dataTable().makeEditable();
    });
</script>

The Problem

For each column present in the grid an event is created in the DOM to allow editing.

Where the dataset is very large this has proven to cause significant issues even crashing my browser.

The overall question

Is it possible to only call the edit logic when the user selects the appropriate column rather than trying to build up a large amount of events in the DOM?
