That's okay for database-guys like us. But viewing attributes in the
table is a common task, f.e. for the co-works in my office. It would
be very hard for them to understand, why to get out of QGIS just
to watch the attribute table :)

I think, limiting the amount of data to the current view will be a big
benefit.
