Bug 91468 GTK+ 2.2 requests data from non-visible rows of a VIRTUAL table
Reported: 2005-04-14 17:32:23 | Status: resolved fixed

Because the fixed_height_mode property is not supported until GTK+ 2.2, GtkTreeView requests all rows to perform validation. Virtual tables can probably get a good speed boost by returning some dummy data until the row actually becomes visible, rather than going and asking the application for the data too early.
