On another thread, we got into a discussion of how many items a grid can display before being overstressed (see "How to rapidly create new items").  Pierre noted that 2,000 items would be pushing it.
 
Does this refer to 2,000 items actually displayed or does it include sub-items not displayed?  If it's only the actual items displayed that's important, then I'm in pretty good shape because I have relatively few of those (a few dozen so far) but each may have 100+ subitems.  If subitems aren't counted towards the total, I can more easily manage things by keeping outline items collapsed.

Hi Wayne,
 
I later edited my post saying that I could load 15,000 items in a single grid and it was still very responsive. If wordwrap was off, there was no apparent slowdown as compared to an empty grid.
 
As far as your sub-items question, what matters is the total number of displayed items.
 
Keep in mind that when an item is collapsed, IQ does not initially load sub-items. Only when you expand it.
 
HTH !

OK, great.  That makes things very workable.  I can just keep all my primary items collapsed and then use hoisting if I need to further limit the items displayed.
 
Happy American holiday.
