When I first started writing the application, we all assumed (including the
client) that the files to load weren't going to be that big. So we decided
to do it like this. After we finish everything (and the deadline is almost
approaching), we're told that the files are HUGE. Since we're pretty short
on time, I thought that the second best thing to do was to display the data
in a control that doesn't load everything into memory.
