[whups] Any idea how can I speed up whups for a non-admin user with a lot of queues?

[Edwin L. Culp]

My partner decided he wanted to use whups and wanted a queue for each 
of his domains (about 550) he created the queues and since he and I are 
admins, it is working fine from our admin perspective but today his 
secretary was going to create a ticket and it took over 30 seconds to 
open and she is on the LAN.  At first I thought se was doing something 
wrong but after thinking about it, I though that it might be a question 
of checking permissions on each queue before opening the ticket.  I've 
not tested to be sure but I did add her as an admin temporarily and her 
time droped from 30 seconds to 2 seconds.  To me the obvious solution 
is to cut the queues to some reasonable number (I always thought it was 
a dumb idea ;), but then I thought that it would be a good idea to ask 
if this is the problem and if anyone has a solution that might let it 
work.

Thanks for any suggestions,
