This is going to be a concern for me too, and I confess I did not follow
the previous thread closely enough.

Simply put, has anyone got a working app that displays, say, 1,000,000
rows through a table view with reasonable performance? I want to
implement an application that can do that.

By the way, at least one application in my area of interest (the
Molecular Operating Environment) seems able to do this in X-windows, so
it clearly is possible. I was shocked at how rapidly MOE could scroll
through an enormous table with 100,000's of compounds - and display a
little chemical structure at the front of each row for good measure!

Have a good weekend,

Randy

Discussion after watching Disney's "Lilo & Stitch":

DAD: "But why did the space aliens speak English, as opposed to French,
or Swahili? And why did the one alien speak English with an Eastern
European accent? I don't get it."

CATHERINE (age 7): "That's 'cause you don't have a good cartoon brain."
