Limit on CList items?

[Brad Pepers <brad linuxcanada com>]

I've been using a clist to show a list of data and have been *VERY*
happy with the speed and functionality of it.  In order to test the
speed I increased the number of items in the list to 1000 and it was
still fast as can be.  Then I increased it to 10,000 and it seems
to have died!

Does clist have a limit on the number of items?  If so, why and how
many?  Is there a way to work around this?

PS: current idea is the 32768 limit on widget sizes being exceeded.
    If that is the case, I still need to know how to work around it.
    Off to consult documentation but if anyone else knows the answer,
    please let me know!

PPS: I've also noticed when using the clist that there are some
     functions missing.  I thought I wasn't supposed to access the
     internal widget data directly but I can't get at things like
     the current sorting column without it since there is only a
     "set" function without a corresponding "get" function.  Is this
     on purpose?  Missing functionality?  Am I supposed to just
     access the widget data directly?
