I agree with the comment about 9999 records, but I'd add this:
Loading a load-all subfile is pretty fast with today's computers. If
the user is going to be using the subfile all day long then the few
extra seconds it may take to do a load-all is easily offset by having
all the records there and just sliding the scroll bar up and down.
For some reason that escapes me, we RPGers seem to have a real aversion
to using mouseable scroll bars, radio buttons, and check boxes in our
applications, yet nearly every user has and uses their mouse all day
long. A subfile without the scroll bar is a real limitation. What
befuddles me even more is the extreme ease with which we can add a
scroll bar to a screen, and yet we don't do it. What is the objection?
