I have a pretty comprehensive datatable fully implemented, with search, sorting etc.
I can't find how to adjust the default rows per page (for pagination). I think you should be able to adjust all the options presented and even make it an option to set them as an app state so the user's changes carry from session to session.
It defaults to 5 min and for web users this makes the results look pretty bleak and leaves it's up to whether the user is able to find the pagination controls or not to expand the results.
The good news is converting from large lists views to data tables has reduced page load times by 50%, in large part to the pagination. 👍
