[TYPO3-commerce] 300 categories bring server to it's knees - v0.93

it seems that realurl returned some wrong cHashes so that no_cache was 
set by TYPO3 itself. But the speed hasn't got so much better. But the 
server is not the best anyway. I've to tell my customer to change the 
provider.

But I'll do some more testing with the categories - maybe there can 
still be some small improvements.
