Instead of using a relation, I recommend parameterized view for the child records. I think this is a reasonable combination of speed and flexibility (the child data can quickly be indexed, to show in any order).

It works fine(reasonnable speed) except when I sroll to a parent record which has no child record. When I hit those records, VFP takes forever, like 30 seconds or more, to finally shows me an empty grid. The windows task manager shows the memory usage is full during all that time.
