Have you considered paging the dataset in the ActionScript, but applying the operations to the original ArrayCollection/Dataset? What I mean is, although the grid may only show say 15 records at a time, the dataset is still stored as an AS object and could be adjusted client side, and the current "page" reloaded. I'm imagining the bottleneck isn't the data structure, but rather the DataGrid rendering time. The other option which has already been mentioned would be to do it server side. You could also roll this into AIR and use the built in SQL Lite implementation for added ease and speed.
