[Orgmode] Slow speed of week and month views

Currently I use org-mode to keep track of todos, projects, deadlines and
the emacs diary to keep track of appointments. I would prefer to keep
the latter in org-mode, but the slow speed of the weekly and monthly
agenda views makes it difficult to gain a quick calendar overview of all
upcoming timestamped items.

Has anyone had success in setting up a *fast* calendar view for
org-mode? I use the following custom command to get a view of
timestamped items only:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("cc" "Calendar (events)" agenda ""
 ((org-agenda-ndays 1)
  (org-agenda-time-grid nil)
  (org-agenda-prefix-format " %-12:t ")
  (org-agenda-include-all-todo nil)
  (org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all t)
  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'deadline 'scheduled))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With 25 agenda files, if I type "v m" (view month) in the agenda results
for this custom command, it takes over 16 seconds to generate the
monthly calendar.[1] 

I get similar results if I type "v m" in the default agenda view.[2] As
a point of comparison, I've included the time it takes to generate an
agenda view for a single day on my system.[3]

As far as I can tell, org-mode scans each agenda file anew for each day
shown in the weekly or monthly agenda (hence the many invocations of
org-agenda-get-day-entries in the results below), so the time it takes
to generate the agenda is roughly proportional to the number of days in
the view.

Does anyone have any tips for speeding up the weekly or monthly agenda
views? I have vague and utterly naïve notions of a function that would
scan each agenda file *once* for timestamps within a given range rather
than searching the agenda files again for each new day---but such a
function is far beyond my elisp skills. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!
Matt
