I've just updated the blog - category searches are now much, much faster. I'm working on a fix for title/keyword searches that will be as dramatic, but don't have that done yet. The category search was fairly simple - I just added a cache. The cache is dead simple - a dictionary lookup by category name, with the value being a collection of all files that have at least one post from that category in them. Now, when you do a category search, the system looks in that cache instead of across all blog posts every made.
