The addon Auctioneer ( http://www.auctioneeraddon.com/ ) scans through every auction listed and creates a database of values; it's very helpful.
However, it takes a long time to perform the scan, 12 minutes on my medium-pop server.
Instead of spoonfeeding the client one search page at a time (which probably involves a lot of communication between client and server, and many individual database queries), would it be possible for the client to request a compressed listing of all auctions by category, or the entire auction listing in one go? Something gzipped transparently by the server in the background then downloaded may be more efficient for the server & bandwidth than the many individual queries, and also much faster.
