Simple answer: don't.

The user isn't going to want to see thousands of records on a single page. Even if they tell you that's what they want, it's not. There's no way anyone is going to sit and work their way through a thousand records to find the one they want.

Add more filters, and use paging to break the results up into manageable chunks:

Solution 2

The obvious solution to to implement paging in your grids instead of trying to show thousands of records all at once.

You grab only the number of records you can display at one time, like 20.
