Hi,
We are talking about new API-functions against old servers only, right?
If I implemented this, I would do it the easy way, and not think too much
about the performance, as one would expect the server version to keep up.
ARGetListSQL would be out, as it bypasses the permission model.
I would do 10 ARGetMultipleEntries-calls to get the 1000 records. The
additional API-calls would have little impact compared to the amount of
data retrieved for unlimited-length (0) fields.
