Right now the archives operate entirely without logged in users for
browsing. We do *not* want to change that, because we use that to
build some geographical redundancy in the caching for example. A
configurable like that could be done in client side javascript with a
browser cookie if really wanted though -- as long as All is the
default, meaning all the data is sent to the browser, local pagination
can be done in the browser.
