That might be a workaround, but what if I *want* "list as shuffled"?

The bottleneck is either in the 'tree-building' routine or the widget 
realization.  If the former, the code needs to be re-worked.  If the 
latter, then maybe what we need is some sort of list view class that 
keeps its data model separate from its view model, and only creates UI 
elements for data elements as they become visible.  Or something like 
that.
