Yes I do have a wxGrid phobia. Making the frmEditGrid 80 % solution to
90 % was painful enough, and things tend to not get easier on the last
10 %. If you like fixing it in frmEditGrid, fine.
The main speed issue was on gtk, and my small 1k row testcase did *not*
show improvement. The current solution is ok for 10^n rows, as long as
libpq and the OS can handle it. All previous versions, including yours,
simply stalled.
