Well maybe you could generate them up front. However I suspect the 
generation time and storage space for this would be too high, at least if 
you wanted to get each page back from the server in a reasonable time.

Splitting into three tiers, contents, chapter and page, might work better. 
Anyone fancy some quick sums to see if that's a goer? The prefixes for the 
top layer would ideally be generated and stored in advanced (and this could 
require serious machine resources); the midfixes for the chapter layer would 
have to be dynamic, as would the final pages themselves.

The central principle I'm making use of is that a computer can do a lot of
work in less than a second, i.e. the response time of a web page, and
running it for hours and days doesn't really give you as much more as you'd
think.
