title: How to handle large String Grids?
body: <p>I find that I might have to use a String Grid of less than 10 columns, but about 50k rows.</p>
  
  <p>Experiments have showed it to be a very unresponsive CPU hog.</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers?  </p>
  
  <p>Code or components?</p>
  
  <p>Preferably Delphi (7) build in or TMS (for which I have a license) or FOSS (for commercial use).</p>

  <p>Update: please don't just tell me to use Virtual Tree View, etc. Please tell me why, so that I can learn something. Thanks.</p>
