I've certainly seen profiles before where the catcache overhead was
significant.  I don't think that I've seen SearchCatCache() quite this
high on any of the profiling I've done, but then again I don't tend to
profile the same things you do, so maybe that's not surprising.  I
think the interesting question is probably "where are all those calls
coming from?" and "can we optimize any of them away?" rather than "how
do we make SearchCatCache() run faster?".   I would be willing to bet
money that the latter is largely an exercise in futility.
