Apply threading for filling gridview?

[VMI]

I'm filling up a gridview and the underlying datatable has about 30,000
records, so it takes some time before I can see the page again with the
records on the gridview.
Is there any type of threading (or anything else) that I can use so that I
can display some message (i.e. "Grid loading...") or any way so that I can
start viewing the records?

Thanks.

couple options:

1) implement paging.
2) switch to ajax and use a vitual scrolling (ala google maps) - little
work, but fun
3) load the grid in an iframe (seperate page) - still take forever to load

More importantly, is this application machine readable? I mean which user
has the capacity to interpret all that data? Seems to me you would benefit
by re-thinking your data display strategy.
