Not in my experience, it even provides a location parameter to enable you to
specify the struts action you need called as you scroll through the list. If
you combine this with a data caching facility, like the one in iBATIS or
Hibernate you'll find that it works quite well.

If you have a really large list, you can easily write your own queries to
only load the data you need, using SQL limit and offset.
