this is a list with 8k rows. loads instantly. scrolls instantly (even on weak macs)
I have some tables with almost 1 million rows, quite same speed.
I made a containercontrol with a listbox and 2 scrollbars. took me 2-3 years to make it work as I want but it was really worth it.
Xojo is not a bad choice, you will have the same problems with any other language.
you must deal with paginate, filters, searches, selectall, everything.
there are some plugins (I think of pidog at the moment) that have this implemented. but it cost $.
certainly less than making it yourself. again I don’t regret building it and the time it took me.
you can download the app and see by yourself. it’s here
