Yes. You need a different design. Pulling a _large_ number of such
categories and sub categories and making this into such a long flat
table is the wrong design for this amount of data.

I suggest aggregating to one more level of categories, and having
them organized as a tree (ie, it would be very nice to have a
tree widget a la Zope). Unfortunately I don't have one myself.
If anyone has a suggestion on how to implement this in Interchange,
ideas are very welcome.
