For me, a Comic Vine list, by itself, lends nothing more exciting than my previous way of managing my collection: a single text file with "Batman|3|600-615" (Batman, location 3, issues 600 through 615). If I specify just the volumes (as Comic Vineyard has you do), then the image I see is the first issue of the volume which isn't representative of any issue I actually have. The link to the volume itself just shows me every possible issue and not the ones I own, again, making it worthless. It serves no advantage of the text file I had before. Now, if I made a Comic Vine list that included items for every issue I had, it defeats the other purpose of Comic Vineyard: speed of data entry. If I had 5000 comics, I'd have to hit 5000 pages on Comic Vine and make 4 clicks for every addition. That's pretty painful. Even when finished, I'd have a 100 page Comic Vine list (50 comics per page) which would be nigh-near impossible to keep sorted with any semblance of speed. Again, not a solution I'm hoping for.
As for "waiting", yeah, I have various ways around it that I can work on, but they're pretty "about face"ish from the original approach of the script, so I'll likely want to solidify things first before working on the speed and cache. And if there's no real big clamor for it, I might not even worry about it at all.
