Just curious ... why would anyone want to be able to display 100,000 rows in a grid ? ... who would have the patience to sit and scroll through so many lines and with 100 columns ? Wouldn't it be better to incorporate filter / search functions to control the scope of this data and thereby minimize the demands required both of the grid and any network loading ?
Basically I think you are absolutely right. However if you are dealing with such a huge amount of data, I think it's a good thing if your components actually can manage it. Although of course you can show the user a message like "too many rows, try another query" a big list is one way to tell the user to be more specific. If the control is smart enough it also can help the user to locate items quickly. Think about an incremental search like Firefox has. The list has to be loaded completely for such a search feature, which actually can be easier for the user than a filter dialog (probably offering both is the best).
