I guess querying the db every time you click on Step One makes sense.
Especially as it is updated in real time, Bookshare would want to make sure
people get the most current list. I hadn't thought of it that way, though.

Hi, Evan. If I'm not mistaken, those particular links query the whole
database every time you click on them, and that's at least part of why it takes
so long. What I do...or what I did with the Step One page when I still
validated was to open the links for the books I wanted to look at in a new
window, so I could just close that and be back at the Step One page without
having to wait for it to load. Take care.

I was just wondering: When I first load the Step One page, or do an author
search by clicking on one of the letters and browsing through the names, it
takes a good while to load the first time. But when I look at a book on the
Step One page to decide whether I want to take it or not, then alt-left arrow
back to the Step One page, or look at an author and alt-left arrow back to the
list of authors under a specific letter, it seems to take just as long as it
did originally. I haven't timed it exactly, but it's close if not exactly as
long. I have checked my temporary internet files disk allocation and it is at
3% - which is 1.2 gigs out of a 40 gig drive. Shouldn't these pages load faster
the second time I try to go to them? Isn't that what these temporary folders
are for, to enable faster loading of pages already visited? I would think it
would pop back up right away, being on my hard drive. Isn't that how it works?
Thanks for any enlightenment.
