Yes, lots more options than my old thingy, thanks magnus :) but still bound to recursive calls to the database, which is what i really want to get rid of. the lookup needs to be snappy.
Is there any reason not to have a flatted structure some- where on the toolserver (or, in the long run, in MediaWiki)? A quick look at recentchanges for dewp shows about 22000 changes per month, about one every two minutes. With about 80000 categories in all, it should be feasible to up- date the structure incrementally, with daily/weekly/monthly clean new full "dumps" (or even dispense with up-to-the-se- cond data and just dump the flat structure hourly).
