Hey Ralph,

   10 columns is definetelly not a problematic amount of columns ( I was thinking more in the range of 50-100 columns ).

   So after your reply, I took a deeper look at your Page XAML and noticed that you placed the DataGridControl inside a stack panel.

   The problem with this is that StackPanel will measure its children with no constraint, meaning that they will take as much space as they want.

   This causes the grid to stretch so that all its elements are visible, which explains the long loading time.

   I suggest placing the DataGridControl in a container that does not measure its children with no constraint, such as a DockPanel, to enable UI Virtualization:

    <DockPanel>
        <Label DockPanel.Dock="Top">Page 1</Label>
        <Label DockPanel.Dock="Top">
            <Hyperlink NavigateUri="Page2.xaml">Go To Page2</Hyperlink>
        </Label>
        <xceed:DataGridControl Name="MyGrid"></xceed:DataGridControl>       
    </DockPanel>
