Indexes won't help because listBirthdays() is a generic function that does
the date comparisons itself.  It fetches all contact objects and then
checks the birthday dates one-by-one.

To improve speed, we would need to do the date comparisons in the backend
database.  This means either using a more specific search criteria in the
call to search() or implementing an optimized listBirthday() function in
each backend driver.
