ghosh123 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi
I have perl tk gui which is using HList through scrolled widget to build the columns as say Jobname , Jobdesc,Runtime,Status. Below each column a job tree gets constructed (with ItemStyle,ItemConfigure) when I submit jobs. You can expand and collapse the jobtree, each job has a menu attached to them so that you can delete, restart , view log files of a job by selecting the desired menu.

But the gui is becoming very slow when I am submitting more than thousands job. Just wanted to know is there any limitation of the MainWIndow widow to accommodate so many jobs. How can I get rid of that problem ? Is there any trick to design such a gui to serve so many huge numbers of jobs without becoming slow ?

Viewing so many jobs is also a problem by scrolling up and down, any solution to overcome that ?
