Any ideas?

Yes, a few of them.
1. Use LIMIT in your MySQL query to get the number of records
provided down to a manageable size.
2. Use pagination to keep the page size to a manageable size.
Here's an example:

Here's an example with code and it has an example of using LIMIT with offsets:

3. Then use a toggle for showing small/large amount of information.

I often use this for showing clients lot's of data without having to
show all of it at one time. Here's another example:
http://sperling.com/quarters/
Note how "The rules" and "How to win" are shown.
As to showing the user one item expanded and all the rest collapsed,
I leave that to you, but my hint is redefining the css display rule
(display: block) on the initial load of the page.
Cheers,
