I like the idea.
So I could load a partial dataset and display it. In the meantime the
rest of the data is loaded in the background and displayed when it's
ready....

Another annoying thing I noticed: doing massive updates to a treeview is
really slow. I am using a 8 column display with 1200 rows. In my
application I delete a row and update the first column of all the rows.
The update takes about 1 second on a 1.4 GHz Athlon. In the meantime the
gui is totally blocked.
