Metadata queries should not take more than a few seconds.  If a query 
has taken sufficiently long that it has surpassed the timeout in 
MythVideo and that behavior persists, then either the server is 
currently under heavy load, or is having unresolved issues.  In either 
case, the courteous thing would be to simply hold off further access 
until such time as the server is behaving better.
