I think you are over-estimating the pain. It's a single page for a  
single host that is not refreshed. Iterating through all hosts once to  
find children should be fine. If it was a page listing 100 hosts and  
working out the children, then pain would increase a lot more.

A wise man once said - write it right, then optimise the hell out of  
it later.
