That is pretty much correct. Qt in its current state is rarely usable for applications with non-toysized datasets simply because nobody cares about using sufficiently well scaling algorithms when appropriate. Now, the data usually handled by LyX is usually 'toy sized', i.e. less than a millon chars or so, but it is structured to a degree where chosing the correct algorithm and data structure _does_ sometimes matter.
