CDBI just wasn't designed to work with result sets of thousands of rows, so
it sounds like to me that you're going about this the wrong way. Sorry.

Other than perhaps using a different ORM, if I were dealing with result sets
with thousands of rows, I'd probably bypass object instantiation entirely and
use set_sql() to define the query, grab a sth from the resulting sql_* class
method, and then use basic DBI methods to access the results. I'm not sure
what you're doing with your results though, so maybe that isn't feasible.
Typically, the only time I'd deal with thousands of rows in a result set is
when I'm doing reporting.
