I can see two things that would help, one from LP, and one from lpltk:

  1) Adding a CVE search API call (substring match on display_name)
     - the cve script has a part that is currently O(num CVEs)

  2) Don't save the tag list after every tag addition, batch them until
     the end.
     - This would save num_tags-1 round trips in each script

Thanks,

James
