Appending on the fly

[richscan]

Interested in using your component on a photography website I'm building. When all done I expect to have ~ 3000 photos with each thumbnail being a max of 260 pixels wide. Would you recommend adding all 3000 images @ once or add them in blocks (ex: 100 components @ a time). I was hoping to be able to "append" images and detect page scrolling. I do not want to use paging.
