Hi all,

for a project I have to loop through a lot of nodes (4000) that are stored in an alphabet-folder.

RootNode

-- A
     -- Alpha
                -- A-NL
                -- A-DE
     -- Another thing
                -- A1-NL
                -- A2-NL
-- B
     -- Beer
etc.

My goals is to put all the lowest level-nodes (A-NL, A-DE, A1-NL, A2-NL) in a list of nodes.

After I retrieved this node-collection I put it in cache. But retrieving the nodes the first time (so before it's in cache) takes a whole lot of time (+/- over 3 minutes). When it's in cache the site performances okay, but the first time it's awful.

I retrieve the nodes by

For Each letterNode As Node In New Node(NODE_ID).Children
     For Each childNode As Node In letterNode.ChildrenAsList
           For Each specificNode As Node In kadoNode.ChildrenAsList
                returnList.Add(New Cadeau(landKadoNode.Id))
                Exit For
           Next
     Next
Next

So at this time I'm using the NodeFactory.

Is there a way to speed this up drastically? I've read about Examine but never used it. I thought it is for searching, or will it also help by indexing a big set of nodes?

Thanks in advance,

Jeffrey
