We came to the same conclusion with our software. For some customers,
the initial dataset was over 100,000 records, and we didn't anticipate
that amount of records initially. But now, the user doesn't see any
data, until they enter some criteria and then click a button to fetch
the data. And, we were surprised that our users didn't mind the
change, since the trade-off was a search form that appears
instantaneously. And, if I do have to load the data into a memory
table, I display a progress dialog as a visual feedback.
