Hi.

As I've stated earlier:  This is a 500mhz disk server with 256MB ram,
with my music collection on a local USB2 drive, and 250 items are
displayed on each page.

The display time seems proportional to the number of displayed items. 
The last page (with only 40 items) displays considerably faster (1-2
seconds).  Since the top level is the only one with loads of items, it
is the only one that suffers enough to be annoying.

By the way, one query per item seems like a serious waste.  Couldn't
this have been done with a smarter query?  I haven't got any cue
sheets, maybe I could disable the extra queries altogether somehow?
