I disagree for following reasons:

1) More complex than simply refreshing the list view.  You have to
figure out where in the grid to place the row based on sorting, etc.

2) Refreshing the entire list will freshen the data in case other rows
have been changed by other users.

3) Premature optimization.  By my tests, clearing and rebuilding a 64K
row data grid takes less than one second on my 1.6ghz machine.  So any
slowdown is in the DB round trip, which you have to do for the one
record anyway in case space aliens stole the data on the way to the
server or something.  Basically for grids less than 10k records, I would
be amazed if there is any perceptible speed difference between the two
methods other than maybe more flicker when refreshing the entire grid.
