Just for the record, it's my patch. I think the issue is not so much the 
repository size as the repository structure, and how many items occur at 
one node in the tree. Although, of course, you need a somewhat large 
repository for a large list to be a possibility. The patch is not 
trivial, and I definitely would like to see the issue addressed in the 
new UI. One possibility might be to display items under alphabetical 
sub-lists, like, for example, A-H, I-Q, R-Z, with the division points 
calculated to generate appropriate list sizes (if there's not a patent 
on that :-))
