Write the template intelligently so it's not bringing back 13,000 records
when you only need 20 - that's just insane!
The fastest way I can think of to do this is to find the last entry date,
bring back 25 just in case there are several at exactly the same time, and
pass through in the "next 20" button the date of the last entry and the IDs
of the entries shown on the previous page
That way your db access is kept to a minimum, and speed will shoot through
the roof
