For circulation.pl and sco.pl, long loan periods cause the pages to take an
extrememly long time to load.

Checkout times per item slow to tens of seconds. Loading of the patron record
in the SCO takes tens of seconds to minutes. 

-----------

Example: 

Our professors need to be able to borrow books for an indefinite period,
sometimes several years (e.g. for textbooks). 

To accomplish this we originally set the loan period to 9999 days. The rest of
our religious community can borrow for 1 year (loan period set to 365 days).

On the staff client and self-checkout, the community would have checkout times
of a couple to 10 seconds.

Professors would take 30-60 second for each item checkout, and the SCO would
take 60-90 seconds to even load their record, then 30-60 seconds per checkout.

Changing only their loan period to match the rest of the community (365 days)
made checkouts take at most seconds, so the difficulty is this variable and how
these scripts use this variable.
