Yeah, if you are trying to display all 800 entries on a single page that would be very slow. That is not a Connections limitation. You would have the same result if you tried to show 800 WordPress posts on a single page too.

re: Can I default the connections shortcode to simply start at “A” in the alphaindex? This would be the ideal solution I would like to accomplish

Sorry, no Connections does not support this.

re: Other than paying for some cmap plugin, is there a way I can get pagination to work?

Sorry, no, you’ll need one of the template available here for pagination support. The only other option. All the code required to add pagination support to a template exists in Connections. If you know PHP you can add pagination to any template.

Hope that helps!
