This is some hacking to reduce database load: The necessary instances are loaded at once and cached by GALInstances while fetching them. On my system, this saves 0.4 seconds when displaying 300 images :-). It doesn't return the instances because in most cases GALImage::instance() is used to access instances. This adds only little overhead, because already fetched and constructed rows are cached, so that a call of GALTable::row() returns the requested row without database query or constructor call.
