Don't try to populate padlist on each req

This is an important fix, prolly wants merging into master ASAP.  

Before this fix each new pad request would re-populate the all pads object, this is a blocking procedure and slows down the loading to a point where it's almost useless :(

Testing didn't find this because our testing stack isn't populated with pad data :|  TLDR.  Our tests still suck, hard.
