I could have sworn I sent this last night, but here goes again.
Wouldn't it be possible to have a fixed height only for rows that aren't
currently visible? (Or visible rows + X rows on either side?)  That way
the list looks correct, we get entirely correct behavior for smaller
lists, but the larger the list the more rows use the faster "fixed
height" so really large lists work as well?  Perhaps use the average
height of the "true height" rows as the fixed height? What am I missing
here?
