[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 973893, member: 52265"] It definitely creates it each time. Regarding investigating the code, I looked before, its not a small / simple plugin :) I suspect whilst there is no actor specific table and many-many relationships defined through a joining table back to the movie entities, speeding this up may not even be possible and will certainly go beyond simply creating faster queries. I would guess the bottleneck is parsing the actor names out of the single fields like you say. This is why I wondered if it would be possible to trigger the list generation when you enter that specific entry in the catagories menu, rather than when you enter it at the highest level. Maybe @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/fforde.52082/']fforde[/URL] will tell us to stop talking silly and put us straight :) [/QUOTE]
