 Replying to [comment:6 pp19dd]:
 > The question that I have is -- why would we want to list all 5,000+
 pages in a dropdown on the 'edit page' screen?  It would seem prudent to
 put up a paginated search widget there.  I mean, its purpose is to assign
 a parent to the page.

 Simple: because there is no patch to do things differently, and that would
 be the simplest way to proceed in order to assign a page parent.

 Imo, it would be better if a simple text field existed. As the user types
 a title in it, we'd ajax query page titles and return a small selection of
 pages to choose from. That would be great, and it would scale admirably.
 If you're familiar with php and js, go right ahead and write the patch. If
 not, it may be ages before it gets fixed if your DB is so that the indexes
 are not used.
