Obviously everyone knows about turning off redraw while filling a
large[r] list control, but I have also had good results with "owner
DATA" (not owner DRAW, different issue).

With owner DATA, the control doesn't store all of the data itself - the
owner just gets sent a message whenever the data for a particular item
needs to be displayed.

This can work especially well with large numbers of items, both because
the control's own heavyweight storage mechanisms are not being used, but
also if one has list items that can easily be generated/synthesized on
demand, then NO ONE has to allocate the storage. ;)
