critical performance problems

i tried to use Viewfield for a rather dirty workaround - which worked for some time - but now it seems I just found the limitations.. and the the whole server begins to freeze.

Source for this problem seems to be that drupal generates all components of a node - even if not needed. In my case the Viewfield-list-view is generated inside a complex view - although I only need it for the $page-case..

Shortly some details about my setup: I have a hierarchical taxonomy with some 2000 terms (country/city/venue). For each term I want associate one page - which features a list (archive of past events in that country/city/venue) - still everything fine. But once I try to pull those pages into another view (all venues in a specific city) the whole thing freezes. I suppose this happens because also in this view the Viewfield-list-view is generated for every single node listed - which generates literally some 100s of thousands of request at once..

Here's a way earlier post describing my starting point - and how the workaround with the Viewfield-list-view helped me:

..is there any hope to teach drupal NOT to load every page detail before it's even needed..? ..I think this would be at least very useful for using Viewfield..:]

..greetz, till..
