The approach Cygnus came up with (though I think it was more about  
producing a responsive GUI than avoiding actual timeouts -- but I  
didn't work on that piece myself) was to extend the admin protocol so  
you could fetch a small number of principals at a time, repeating to  
fetch the entire set.  Perhaps we should adopt some variant of this.
