[quote="jchasick"]now what will it take to make navigation work?[/quote]
Your in luck :)
I decided to give it one last try and finish some code to do the layout. It's not the most efficient way of doing it, but it works.

Seeing as I have logged over 50 downloads of the code, I take it there are people interested in this code. Still there are nearly no responses in this thread. The only feedback I get in private messages is along the lines of: "The menus look all messed up in your new code". So I hope this helps.

I am still looking for some people to do their own benchmarks with this code. Especially if you have a shop with a large number of categories and products I would be [b]very[/b] interested in the results on your setup. If you decide to download this and cannot get it to work, let me know and I'll do what I can to makke it work.

Please let me know if anyone is interested in this code, because as I said  before, I probably won't benefit from it my self all that much in the shops I am to set up any time soon. 
If noone wants it, or thinks it's a bad idea to begin with, that's fine with me, I'll just give it a rest then.
