level. As an example when you in the standard slimserver browse to:
"Genres / Genre1 / Artist1 / Album1" this will result in 3 SQL, one to
retreive Genre1, one to retreive Artist1 and one to retreive the Album1
text. 

The number of SQL's is actually no main problem, the problem is the
complexity of each SQL. In standard slimserver they can be very simple
since the browse menus is a bit more hardcoded than in Custom Browse.
In Custom Browse the situation is a little bit more complex since a
menu item doesn't even have exist as a single row in the database, an
item can be calculated in the SQL itself.

Anyway, I will add this to the wish list and think about it little
more. There might be possible to implement a solution that makes the
configuration simple in the normal case and in more specific cases it
would require more advanced configuration with extra SQL statements in
the configuration file.
