                       <StackPanel Background="Black" IsItemsHost="True" >
                       </StackPanel>
                   </ControlTemplate>
               </ListBox.Template>
           </ListBox>
       </r:NoInheritanceContentControl>
   </ScrollViewer>
   

Answer 1

Your code sample does not virtualize because you are forcing the use of a StackPanel. You have to use a VirtualizingStackPanel.
