I have quickly discovered that QTableWidget takes ~30 seconds to populate an empty table of 65536 rows and only 2 columns. And should the LC-3 ever expand its address space, that time could quickly approach infinity. A custom architecture is needed, probably something similar to that of Okteta, the KDE hex editor, where only the rows in view are actually populated (to conserve resources).
