Yes, it is a known problem, and why Lazarus IDE uses TTreeview in many
places like the Messages dialog, instead of TStringGrid.

A few months back (maybe even a year or more) I reported this issue
too. fpGUI's StringGrid can create 8mil populated rows or columns in
an instant. LCL took....well, it never finished after 4 hours on a
quad core system - then I killed the test app. :)  I'm sure if you
search the mailing list archive, you will find that message thread.
