Maybe I'll have to wait until Flex 7 (or later) 'til they truly make flex able to handle large datasets smoothly. (I guess I'll also have to advise those at Adobe and the flex evangelists that what they define as a "large" dataset isn't large in practice. They probably need to moonlight as interns for a few of their customers to snapback into reality. There's no company in the real world that would define a large dataset as only a few thousand items)
