Not a specific example, but you might (or might not) find some  
inspiration in Sun's web app guidelines:
<http://developers.sun.com/docs/web-app-guidelines/uispec4_0/>

The 'tree scalability' topic might be one that's of some interest:
<http://developers.sun.com/docs/web-app-guidelines/uispec4_0/05-navigation.html#5.4.3

Those guidelines (and the accompanying toolkit) were written primarily  
for sysadmin-type applications, which often have to deal with the sort  
of tasks and scalability you're talking about.

Cheeri,
