Improve the performance of Author and Series pages. They need to be handled at the same time since they share much of the display logic. Currently every title's co-author and every variant title requires at least one additional database lookup, which takes a long time for authors with thousands of titles (Silverberg, Asimov, etc.) We need to pre-load author and VT information, which will speed up the display process.
