Try:

	results = list(self.cursor)

That might give another few ticks. And have a look at my code in UPCScan
0.6. There, I've moved the DB code into a background thread. This means
the UI can already be used while the DB code is still fetching data.

The next step would be to load the big table in chunks of, say, 25 rows
at a time by creating a select that returns only 25 rows, add them to
the table and start the fetch of the next 25 rows.

Or you can try to fetch as little data as possible. So the first query
would be to fetch only the number of rows in the table and return that
in your model without actually loading anything. Put N proxy objects
into the model (which should only take a few seconds).

When a proxy object is requested, load it (and maybe some more nearby
proxy objects). This way, you'll only load the data the user actually
wants to see.
