Hi all,

I've been having some performance issues with getting a random image from Media library.
The goal is to get the latest 30 images, and take 5 random images for display purposes.

The code is as following:

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@using System.Linq;
@using DigibizAdvancedMediaPicker;

@{ 
var parent = @Model.MediaById(Parameter.RootNode);
    if (parent != null) {
        var items = parent.Descendants("Image").OrderBy("id desc").Take(30);
        for(var i = 0; i < Convert.ToInt32(Parameter.NumberOfItems); i++)
        {
            var item = items.Random();
            Render Something with my @item.Url
        }
        }
}
}

The problem seems to be the 'parent.Descendants' part, because the Media Library is *huge*.
Caching the control is not really a solution, but fixes it for now.

Has anyone encountered this problem, and have found a solution for this?
