You'll need to do that anyway, since all data will never be relevant to
the user.

But a quick look at the source tells me that you are using GtkListStore
with string columns for all values. That does of course waste a lot of
memory, as its a generic container, not designed to be memory-friendly
with 60k entries. Is there a special reason to use GtkListStore? Why not
simply implement GtkTreeModel with a lightweight per-file structure?
