Startup is slow with ~1000 notes

I imported my 993 tomboy notes to Bijiben. This made the application a bit slower on start up.

Maybe should we display 50 or 100 first notes, then have a button to show 50 nex items. I guess the UI is one of the slow part.

Also, I might need to clean up the internals

Is there some way to "cheat"? So say you know the number of notes, so you can calculate how much space that will take, but not actually load the content of any of the notes off screen, or at least not all of them? (I'm not a programmer so I have no idea how hard this would be..)
If not, "Show next 50" could work too.

I guess Tomboy performs the calculation you describe not to load the off-screen notes. But also guess even improving this, perf won't be as good as Tomboy since we need to create a different icon for each note rather than always displaying the same one. Also, have no internet at home these days & releasing something might mean implementing some features is more a hurry than coding the "no ui change" fixes. Ideally, i should code both :)
