Comment 28 for bug 1712854

Agreed those are nice to have, but they come at a cost. We have a chance to improve initial page load time and we're choosing not to, to speed up sorting and printing.

The new API will certainly make it faster, regardless. And maybe the trade-off is worth it overall. In many (most?) cases it won't matter, but a large holds shelf could be painful to preload. 500 holds on the shelf is not uncommon for us, we have one beast with >2k. If those are outliers we shouldn't be distracted by, that's fine, because we need to do what works best for most sites. I just want to be sure this perspective is considered.
