The plugin relies on the main server code to do all of the menu
manipulation so we can't change this.  What you could do is remove the
day of week entries from the top of the menus.  The perl code was
written with some degree of customisation of the menus in mind - just
by editing the menu.opml file.  For each entry in the menu.opml file,
there is a parser entry.  This includes a number of optional params
after the ? - remove the "byday&" and it should remove the by day
menus from the list. [you need to restart the server and wait 5 minutes
or empty Cache/Filecache for this to work]

This all comes from the BBC xml feed - there is some logic in there to
remove duplicates, but it can't catch all of them.  Its possible this
is due to getting different information for the lw vs fm version of
radio4 but I am not sure.

Probably possible, but not with the 7.3 version at present.  I'm prefer
to fix this first.

Not sure what you are commenting on here - its definately faster than
the alien bbc parsing of the web pages.  However there is some time to
fetch and decode the bbc xml feed for each station.  This can take up
to a second, but depends on the performance of your server.  Not sure
much can be done about this.
