I'm playing with the software as we speak. The database load IS fast, as it 
should be. The bottleneck is building the tree, I'm very slowly going 
through the code (as I am very infamiliar with it) and trying to figure it 
out. Right now my code is looping 348 times, and I'm trying to find out 
why... I thought it was because I had 348 songs in my playlists, but I 
deleted playlists from the DB and its still looping 348 times... so its 
something else. Its not # of songs... I havd 1800. But that 348 item loop is 
taking 4 seconds. At home with my myth pc hooked up to my 'real' database it 
takes upwards of 30 seconds to build the tree.

I'll keep ya'll posted.
