I notice you do:


<!--#in "Catalog(recruiter=AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName())"-->
  ...
<!--#/in-->

several times in your calendar/catalog example.

You can optimize this using the with or let tags to run this query
just once and stuff it into a name you can reuse.  This will make the
page render much faster.

<!--#with "_(recruiter_stuff =
Catalog(recruiter=AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName())"-->

  <!--#in recruiter_stuff-->
    ...
  <!--#/in-->

  <!--#in recruiter_stuff-->
    ...
  <!--#/in-->

<!--#/with-->
