Yes, that would make the channel search more efficient, without a doubt. 
  However, I don't want to go _too_ far down this road.  If we were 
going to put any significant effort into making channel searching more 
efficient, I would much rather go the route that I started a long time 
ago (my chan_refcount branch) which has channels in an astobj2 hash 
table, uses reference counts, and makes a number of things much more 
efficient.

Hopefully I can spare some time to get it done at some point ...
