I agree, you definitely need the ability to page. I have about 100 events on my calender which shows on my home page, and I'd love the ability to page the event list. Showing the list of 100 events definitely hurts the initial load of my home page.
Your probably going to tell me to move the list to another page, however the calendar is the main reason folks visit my site. It's for a boy scout troop with upwards of 100 users who need to log on to find out when the next meeting or campout is being held, as well as plan for events in the future. Events are being added all the time, so it's not just a matter of printing the calendar once in awhile.
Thanks
