For our most heavily used web app we decided to have the renderer
just read the list of cases and render the pages to disk, and then
present the first one. We set a limit of 500 entries on the list;
if we get past 500 we put up a page telling them to refine their
search criteria. That won't work for all circumstances, but it
works well for out web app.
