Comment (by Jairus):

 A collapsible tree view (like
 [http://joelstarnes.co.uk/pagemash/example_v1.0.2/ pageMash]) doesn't
 necessarily address the scaling issue, even if it addresses usability
 concerns. (You could theoretically use something like an AJAX tree which
 only requests data about branches as they're opened, but that won't solve
 problems for installs with large numbers of pages at the root level.)

 From a UI point of view, page hierarchy complicates things for the user,
 if they have a large number of pages paginated, and they're trying to find
 a specific item. I think the ideal solution would allow for both a
 flattened view (ie: sortable title/id/date columns) and a nested view that
 displays parent/child relationships (kind of like the current interface).
