Yes. But you’d probably get more of an improvement from replacing the current 
“Recent” tab with a variant that showed a plain list of titles and dates, 
rather than grouping the tiddlers by day, which is an expensive operation.

I’ve answered the questions here directly, but I’m concerned that a narrow 
answer can be misleading.

Software developers are taught that premature optimisation is evil; instead, 
we’re taught to measure, measure and measure again, and make sure that any 
changes have the expected impact.

So a useful conclusion to be drawn from this thread is not that everyone should 
go and re-engineer their “Recent” tab, but rather this: if there is a 
noticeable pause when switching to the “Recent” tab then your wiki probably 
qualifies as a “big wiki” (or your browser qualifies as a slow browser :).

In that situation, the first thing I would do is think about how I use the 
wiki, and just avoid the operations that are time consuming. Only as an 
absolute last resort would I start to customise the wiki, and I would do so 
with stopwatch in hand to ensure that my efforts were directed in the most 
effective way.

Best wishes

Jeremy
