I'm not familiar with Trinidad, but usually in these cases using ajax to partially load the tree can help.
Check if Trinidad tree allows loading tree branches only when expanded.

In Firefox and Chrome, it only takes a few seconds. Unfortunately my company has to support IE. Does anyone know a good solution to this? (Maybe like a TreePanel widget that will go get data as needed?) Thanks, Billy
