When I search from the initial koha page it takes ~4 seconds to find this item.

When I open all of these options at the same time in new tabs it takes forever. It seems to be an almost linear increase in the time it takes for the searches to complete. Also, each new tab running a different search will continue to run until one has finished, then once one has finished another will go. This process is ~4 seconds for each search.
