There is no question that the entire variations management process needs to be reworked. I have a site where I can't even load the variations manager for specific items. I think it only works if you have relatively few options and relatively few items, because accessing the page loads objects for every possible combination of options into memory so that it can serve them up all at once to be used in the page's javascript. If this is the case, the memory used grows exponentially with the number of options and products available, which is a big no-no. NO! bad, Satchmo. It would probably be a good idea to load all the combinations in small batches and use ajax to load them on the page ... or something
If you want to work on fixing this, I would be interested in helping out! It has caused me a few problems in the past.
