The test example I was testing on has 2 grids showing the same data - one a standard DBGrid, the other a CDSDBGrid (an extension of the same grid from BDN which adds sorting by the column buttons similar to Windows Explorer), and several single field labels DBLabels, all standard VCL components except the BDN grid....so there is possibly some extra overhead but nothing does get updated on the screen until everything has loaded.
I did try disconnecting the datasource from the grids, again this makes no difference in the load times. The CPU is a 2GHz Athlon, likely a bit slower than others quoted here as the PC is a couple of years old...

A quick test here of loading a CDS with 15K records finished in under half a second. Maybe you have some badly-behaved components around that don't properly respect your DisableControls/EnableControls? See if disconnecting your dataset from all datasources before loading makes any difference.
