Please, i'd apreciate a hand about this:

I just tryed converting my 211 countries categories to CCK content types enabling the category_transform module.

To do this in a timely manner i worked on the database, and changed from 'category-cat' to 'content_country' the "type" field in the "node" table (my CCK type) for each of my countries nodes entries.

The trick seems to work, now all of my country categories are transformed, show the 'category' tab and have the right fields on the edit page.
Only thing is that seems to me that pages with views blocks using Category fields or filters are damn slower to load than before... to load the homepage it takes now more than 30 seconds while before it took about only 8, and the Firefox loading bar goes forward and back and forward....

Did anyone else try using category_transform on a cospiquous number of categories (200+), and did he/she notice any loss in performance?

Could eventually this be a fault of mine, and my "migration" lacking something?

Thank you in advance for any help!

PostScriptum:
also could anyone help with the php snippet to be used in the node-content_catCCKtype.tpl.php template in order to output again the nodes associated with the terms, or better the view selected within the category_views settings?

cheers
