	That's not right.  Have you had MV build an INDEX for your products db?

to return each page.  I recompiled perl with all sorts of optimizations
also, and it only took about 1 second off the time.  My entire site runs
through minivend to preserve the functionality of it, and I fear that when
this particular site gets posted to slashdot.org, and hardocp.com, 30
concurrent requests will be the minimum it's getting.  My load average hits
about 10.70 while it's trying to process these also.  I guess I can 

	Definitely not good, you should be able to cut that by 90%
