I will be gone until Monday or Tuesday. Feel free to continue the flamefest
while I am gone, but I think it would be a good idea to ponder this a few
days befire we flame on anyways.

Just a thought before I sign off for now - if the idea is to do really
really optimized paging then GetPagedHits (s, offset, count) might not be
what we want. By using a search.pagesize session property the call could be
reduced to GetHitPage (s, page_num) and the server would have a chance to
pre-prepare the pages for maximum efficiency. Other small tweaks might be
possible. This is Jamie's original 3).

Cheers,
Mikkel
