[development] function node_page_default

[Keizo Gates]

Hello,

I've been reading through the node.module code for a project and came  
accross the node_page_default function.  As far as I can tell this is  
used for the traditional list of nodes for a drupal homepage.

The documentation page is here: http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/ 
function/node_page_default

My question is, couldn't this function be made to use just one  
database query?  as it stands it uses node_load() for every node that  
needs to be displayed on the page so if you want to display 30  
teasers, that's 30+ database hits.  Am I missing something here?
