I think you need to give more information. What is slow, exactly?
Scrolling? Adding rows? Sorting by colums? Resizing? How are you
measuring speed? Do you have some example code that demonstrates poor
performance?

That doesn't sound like a large data set, you'd think it would be
pretty quick. Synaptic (to pick one example) has a treeview with
~30,000 rows and performs acceptably (for me).
