I'd re-think whether your user is really going to scroll through 2000 items. I'd think of providing other means for them to quickly access your site. Mobile users do not have the time to endlessly scroll through lists. 

And jQuery Mobile listview performance (on mobile devices) typically dives to unusable by 100 items. If you use your own simple CSS, you can increase to a much larger number, but I'd say that 2000 is unreasonable in any case.

I think this works, but, unfortunately, hasn't been brought up to date with current jQuery Mobile:

Are your users primarily desktop, mobile, or mixed?

If you really think you need to scroll a zillion thumbnails, first make sure they are thumbnails. Make sure they are appropriately-sized and run ugh an optimizer. "appropriate size" can be a problem, though, with so many screen resolutions today. It's best to avoid any scaling, and so you may need to decide on as many as 3-4 different thumbnail sizes, and serve one that is appropriate to the particular user's screen dimensions.

Thank you very much for your response.

Yes, I understand that 2000 list items is really large but that was just a random number to express a large list.

My main pick for putting this question was to know if anything is readily available to accomplish lazy loading?

Thanks for the link. I have already gone through it but could not get it working.

Could you please guide me though - to get lazy loading implemented somehow? It will be a great help to me.

Thanks!
