Comment (by westi):

 {{{ $results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_parent FROM
 $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'page'"); }}}

 I don't like the scalability implications of this.

 Can you not switch the patch to do specific queries for the different
 request types so as to ensure that the SQL request is bounded small
 enough?

 This may make decendent_of stuff harder to work out - can it use any of
 the walker classes that exist as well?
