So your application needs to work in a speedy fashion with listboxes
containing 10,000 items? How fast? Is your test simply to scroll
through the list, or is it to time the display the first time?
Grail? I didn't think that was supported. I did try downloading it
once, as I recall, a long time ago, but didn't get it to work. It
was probably just me but I don't feel like trying again.
Anyway, how fast do you need the GUI to be? The grass is always
greener...
