The list model interfaces were designed to cope with situations like
this, so I don't see this as being a problem. The UPnP model would fetch
say 100 at a time, loading asynchronously. When a load is finished, the
model is reloaded and the new/old items are pulled from the local
database cache.

The difficult part will be searching/sorting when all the data has not
been pulled down from the server.
