I think I went 2 or 3 deep just for testing. I haven't really utilized the
nested galleries much otherwise. All but about 3 galleries are converted from
my old photo album, which didn't allow subgalleries.

This sounds pretty much like what I was seeing during development (loading way
more than necessary for a gallery list). But, it's been a while, so I don't
remember specifics.
