Knockout & jQuery takes a VERY long time using push...

AppViewModel.page_model = {
    my_log_entries : ko.observableArray(),
    };

function AjaxReportsMyLog()
{
	var myCommand = [];
	myCommand.cmd = "GetReportMyLog";
	var params = JSON.stringify({LoginName:AppViewModel.user_session.UserDetails.LoginName, SessionID:AppViewModel.user_session.UserDetails.SessionID });
	myCommand.data = params;
	myCommand.onSuccess = function(o)
	{
		AppViewModel.page_model.last_updated(new Date().toLocaleString());
		if(JSON.stringify(AppViewModel.page_model.my_log_entries()) != JSON.stringify(o.ajaxdata.ListOfEntries))
		{
			alert('Starts here...');
			$.each(o.ajaxdata.ListOfEntries, function(key, val)
			{
				AppViewModel.page_model.my_log_entries.push(val);
			});
			alert('60s later, gets here!!');
		}
	}
	myCommand.onError = function(o)
	{
		Utils.Dialog_Server_Error(o.errorThrown);
	}
	Api.Exe(myCommand);
};	

$(document).ready(function()
{
	. . 
	. . 
    AppViewModel.page_model.my_log_entries.removeAll();
	AjaxReportsMyLog();
});
