Sure, that's fine, but mythbackend dosn't actually decide anything about
a program past the 1st upcoming program (at least today).  So if you look
beyond the 1st occurance of a new episode, mythbackend doesn't have any
info about what it will do.  Any check for that requires a
cross-reference of the entire program table, which is what is causing the
slowdown.  So if this gets implemented in mythbackend, a similar penalty
awaits (unless someone comes up with a better method of checking than I
have)
