If you do not mind making your application Mozilla specific, you can always 
take advantage of some of the things offered by the Mozilla suite of tools, 
such as XUL and RDF. RDF, in particular, would be quite suitable for very 
large datasets. An example of RDF usage in the Mozilla suite of technologies 
is that Thunderbird uses RDF to render the contents of mailboxes. Even with 
large numbers of messages in a given mailbox, Thunderbird still remains 
responsive.
