That's really up to the implementation of the MemberAdaptor interface
for SQL (but fwiw, I'm not aware of such a beast). Mailman's
CalcrRecips module loops through all the member addresses in a list
comprehension, but all other information is requested a member at a
time.
Note that if it was too expensive for getRegularMemberKeys() to return
an in-memory list, it could (if you use Python 2.2) return an iterator
object that implemented things in a more efficient manner, e.g. by
paging through blocks. I believe that any place where we expect a
Python sequence (list) we could probably accept an iterator.
