I think that he problem with the current Cookbook-ByCategory
page is not that there's one large index, but rather that
there are *23* large indexes (i.e., 23 separate
calls to (:pagelist:) and 23 separate calls to MarkupToHTML()).
As the directives written now, each index is effectively scanning
the entire PmWiki page collection 23 times.
It can be done *much* more efficiently with a single call
to (:pagelist:) if we use a custom formatter surrounding
the pagelist templates. I still have plans to do this, but
there's a lot going on around here at the moment. :-|

Sure, but I think one could almost as easily search for
pages containing "Attach:". Yes, this would get some pages
that have attachments other than recipes, but I think it'd be
at least as accurate as having a separate Scripts category. :-)
