List control very slow - what can I do instead?

For a small application on my pocket pc 2003 using c# I have a list
control with a few hundred lines in it. (Using compact framework)

I filter the contents depending on a few other settings so the UI is ok
except that it's really slow to fill the listbox.

I Hide the listbox and Show it again when it's full which helps a bit.

Any other suggestions as to why this might be *really* slow, taking
several seconds or what I can do instead?

about Win32, but may give hints.

Just bite the bullet and use C and a virtual listview.
