Fold Page List working *extremely* slow, too many queries!

Hello,

I’m building a website using WordPress as a CMS and the “Fold Page List” plugin is exactly what I need.

It works, but it is *extremely* slow!

With the plugin turned OFF, the deepest page (third level)…

<!– 22 queries. 0.862 seconds. –>

With the plugin torned ON, the deepest page (third level)…

<!– 294 queries. 8.342 seconds. –>

That’s a lot!

This is the code that I’m using…

<?php
if (function_exists('wswwpx_fold_page_list'))
{
$g_page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
$ancestorIDs = _wswwpx_page_get_ancestor_ids($g_page_id);
wswwpx_fold_page_list('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of='.$ancestorIDs[1]);
}
else
{
wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order' );
}
?>

This is (more or less) the structure of the website:

Home

– – – 1994
– – – 1993
– – – 1992
– – Fourth project
– Other stuff
– – Another project
– – Another project

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there anything that I can do to improve the performance?

Thank you
