No... let's say you want Today, +1, +2, +7, +14
You could make 3 grabs ( +0, +1, +2), +7, +14 rather than 5 grabs.

Of course the big gains come from a --refreshall (which makes 14 calls 
at the moment)

The larger chunks are more efficient to generate and transfer, but may 
place a large memory burden on the client when it combines the data, 
especially with large lineups.  Maybe a middle-ground could be found.

Setting the HTTP agent string would also be polite BTW... include the 
MythTV and grabber version.. it can help with troubleshooting.
