It is normal for MacSword. Just a guess: the problem is that it loads 
the entire list of keys into memory. It would be better to have the 
scrolling list request entry keys as needed.

BibleDesktop used to have the same problem and I changed it to a demand 
driven list. The results are phenomenal.
