DataGrid and Virtualization

Is there a way to supress the "virtualization" of DataGrid rows?

For very large row sets this is a nice feature, but for small and medium sized row sets, its really more of a pain with jerky scrolling and a scollbar that does accurately represent the amount of data to be scrolled through.

I'm having the same issues. It would be great if the SL team could give us a check box to disable it.

Here's a little background:

There's a discussion about this topic here: http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/t/15175.aspx

a Commenter asked: "When do you guys plan to virtualize the Grid?" which prompted this answer:

Currently we do have UI virtualization but not data virtualization.  We have been testing the DataGrid with millions of rows and have been seeing favorable results.  Also we plan to continue to make performance enhancements throughout development.  I would love to hear any specific scenarios where you are seeing performance issues.  Please email me through the Email link above so that we can dig into the specifics.  Thanks for the feedback!

Finally there's a Virtualized Stack Panel in the Silverlight Extensions, no DataGrid :)
