Jake,
While I am not familiar with the particular mechanism used by Bookshare to
retrieve the book data, My best guess based on existing data regarding the
time it takes to get certain pages, is that Bookshare retrieves all
pertinent data regarding a book when it retrieves information on titles and
authors. This is an inherent flaw in the query methods. But, this is a
guess on my part based on what I know of relational databases and such.

If that logic held then the "my account" page would take even longer to
load...needless to say it does not.
