Validation of table objects having huge data records

Increased wait time to get the object loaded completely before performing any test action and used a single table instance to fetch all table records instead of creating multiple instances. Still issue is observed in few cases.

Installing latest version of RFT might help in resolving this issue.
(Currently we use RFT 8.2.1 and latest version of RFT is 8.3 (As of Dec 2012)
