Not to mention that dragging the scroll thumb one pixel will result in thousands of rows scrolled at once. Simply useless.

Well, yes, but the only real way to avoid that is to design your application to limit the amount of data presented to the user. It's not an argument against the table view / scroll view mechanism so much as an argument against an overall UI approach that relies on that mechanism to display thousands and thousands of rows of data, which is rarely useful in itself ...

I.S.

I totally agree. I would never present anywhere that much info to the user. It's overwhelming and difficult to navigate through. My comment referred to a bad approach in design: I was adding another argument as to why displaying 14 million rows in a table view is a bad, bad idea. I don't see this as a limitation of NSTableView at all.
