Why don't you want to use paging? 1.6 MB is a lot for the html of a page.

Considering you already disabled viewstate, look into reducing the amount of html by:

• Remove unnecessary columns
• Use only css to style the gridview. The idea being not to repeat the same visual rules all over the HTML.
• Avoid unnecessary markup in the columns. Look into any template columns you may have, and simplify the HTML in there (also using css to style it).
