Heh, I wish it were that easy :-)
My app iterates through a list of files and generates MD5 checksums for
them. Some of my users wish to checksum entire HDDs which contain (I am
told) millions of files. Asside from simply displaying a progress (No reason
I coudn't except vanity) there's no way to cut down the number of files that
must be displayed.
The thing is, there'd only ever be <100 visible on screen so I can't imagine
why these components fall over.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.
