Grid Widget: How Much Data is "Large?"

"Large" will vary with the context. The default backing table uses a
naive 2-dimensional array (in C++) to store the values (I believe
they're only stored as strings), so it's not an efficient way to store
varied data types, or "large" amounts of data. On reasonable hardware,
you're correct that 800 cells is not likely to be considered 'large".

   The grid widget can handle data directly or indirectly if the amount of
data is "large." In my application, the number of cells will vary from 168
to 792. Am I correct in assuming that this is not considered a "large"
amount of data?

   I ask because I'd like to use the simplest means of displaying, editing,
and saving data with this widget. The data are stored and retrieved from a
database, but 800 cell's worth is not a lot of data from my perspective.
