Actullay rethink time .. or step back from the brink :-)

Lots of biblios have multiple subtitles. So the table is actually needed, i
think what is really slowing down title (not author searches as i was
blathering about) is the fact that there are a huge amount of rows that have
a biblionumber and a blank subtitle field.

Im guessing thats because the previous system didnt support joins in a
sensible way, and so u needed a blank entry.

Im going to try deleting all these blank rows, and see if it speeds up the
search any.
