With @DonJayamanne 's background code execution, we could potentially look into how to provide more detailed and fine tuned summary for kernel variables, for example

Dataframe
- df.info
- df.describe
- df.sample
- df.shape
List like data structures
- similar to data frame, we could also provide the shape info like len(list), especially when it's very large
String
- provide shape info when it's large

I think all non critical should be run in background, ie everything related to variables view.
