Drawing time for a list may be an issue. The system will set the entire
list before drawing where with a table it will only draw the visible items.

Subject: Question about arrays & lists
I have an application where I am doing a lot of manipulation of a list
resource. The items in the list are character strings that are 20
characters long. Right now I'm storing the strings in an array and using
the array to populate the list. My test program has about 25 items but I'm
thinking now it could eventually have up to 500 items. Is using a list the
wrong approach in this situation? I like the look of a list, but I'll use a
table if I have to. The list is alphabetized and I have zoom keys to find
items quickly even though the list might be long.
