Its abit of a juggling game really. Trying to move away raw sql dotted
all over the repository to something abit more organised - DBIC. In
converting to DBIC its taken a notable hit on response time. 0.25s -
2.5s and SQL DBIC generated is pretty close to the original. I'm
investigating other avenues (memcached) as well as improving my DBIC-fu.

I've tried memcached with a 2min TTL and it _might_ be an okay
compromise. Maybe reduce it a little more.

Also the existing schema can be much improved but does mean reworking
alot of legacy stuff. Meh
