I'm using code similar to the "get MARC record by ISBN" example in MARC::Doc::Tutorial, and everything is working fine.
However, when I change the query to search by Author, rather than by ISBN, (using @attr 1=1003 $name), I've noticed that looping through the results gets dramatically slower as the number of results increases. The first 18 results come back pretty much instantly. But after that each successive record takes about 2 seconds to fetch. For an author with a lot of books, I've seen it take about 4-5 seconds to fetch each of the later records. I've done some searching through various docs, but I'm a little lost. I can't work out if there's some way to fetch everything back in one shot and use MARC::Batch to loop through, or whether there are some options I'm meant to set in Z3950 (there are some reference in the zoom docs to small result sets vs medium result sets etc., but I can't really figure out what to do with these). Any pointers gratefully received. Thanks, Tony
