Limit read only grid entries due to query timeout

Question

I have a read only grid that is supposed to populate with all entries in a record with a certain flag and put that into a read only grid. The problem I run into is that despite the grid displaying only 3 entries at a time, the query keeps timing out because of how large the number of entries is. I need all entries to be available for my functionality and it is set to load as async. Is there a way to bypass the query timeout error?

Please share some code snippets and/or screenshots with us - helpful in understanding your attempted setup. 
 I understand that there are sometimes some overriding requirements, but what I've found in cases like this is *usually* that a particular view (at least, it sounds like you're querying a view) is overloaded with the "trying to do everything at once" effect.

 Why exactly? What functionality does this fulfill, and how sure are you that querying "all entries" is the only way to do it?
