Of course it will be slower if you are downloading and browsing at the same time. This would also be the case with a web browser. It's the same issue.

The list view can get a bit sluggish when a large number of results have been loaded. I think the bottom line is that the Qt widgets were not designed to be used for kinetically scrolling through hundreds of items. OTOH, it could be a limitation of the hardware/OS. Either way, I don't see any magic bullet.
