Apart from moving map() to async server call, you can optimize the client-side code by creating an ordering function that works over DOM. Currently, each time a keyup event is fired, you rerender the whole table (10K iterations each time if I understand the Spreadsheet size correctly).

First, access your table's children (assuming it is constructed with both and elements: var collection = nameTable.children.item(1).children (returns HtmlCollection of all the rows).

Second, iterate over rows and hide ones that do not satisfy the filtering criteria with hidden property (or create and toggle a CSS class instead):

for(var i=0; i

Third, move the renderTableRows() function to server async call as well, since you render your table rows with string concatenation (instead of createElement() on document) with htmlString.
