Open questions:

* UX, any screams?
* Wes, is this going to fuck us on favicon load? I seem to recall you saying we already take 500msec on this load; doubling the number of returned rows will also double the number of favicons.

I would prefer the grid be evenly distributed, filling according to viewport size and orientation.

What's the bug here? We should fill in the entire screen if there's enough entries. The fact that suggested sites are showing here tells me that you don't have enough to fill the screen? Do you want to change the arrangement of rows/columns if that happens?

The query is slow for me with a large history db. I'm looking into ways to fix that. I don't expect upping the limit from 12 to 24 to have much impact though.

Let's punt this to 1.1 unless we can scope this down.
