two phase fix. first update your database by running the sql here:

--
--
-- this adds the new column that allows us to optimize the "find the recipe" algorithm
--
--
alter table tradeskill_recipe add column component_sum int( 16 );

--
--
-- create temporary data for backfilling the new column
--
--
create temporary table recipe_result  ( select recipe_id, sum( item_id * componentcount ) as theSum from tradeskill_recipe_entries where componentcount > 0 group by recipe_id order by theSum );

--
--
-- this populates the new column with the derived data from the "entries" table
--
--
update tradeskill_recipe set component_sum = ( select theSum from recipe_result where recipe_result.recipe_id = tradeskill_recipe.id );

then patch the first GetTradeRecipe() method with this:

bool ZoneDatabase::GetTradeRecipe(const ItemInst* container, uint8 c_type, uint8 tradeskill, 
	DBTradeskillRecipe_Struct *spec)
{
	char errbuf[MYSQL_ERRMSG_SIZE];
    MYSQL_RES *result;
    MYSQL_ROW row;
    char *query = 0;
    char  where[ 10 ][ 16 ];
	char buf2[ 1024 ];
	char crcStr[ 32 ];
	
	int buf3[10];
	
	uint32 crc = 0;
	uint32 sum = 0;
	uint32 count = 0;
	uint32 qcount = 0;
	uint32 qlen = 0;
	uint32 theRecipe = 0;
	
	//use the world item type as type if we have a world item
	//otherwise use the item's ID... this make the assumption that
	//no tradeskill containers will have an item ID which is
	//below the highest ID of objects, which is currently 0x30
	uint32 type = c_type;
	
	//dunno why I have to cast this up to call GetItem
	const Item_Struct *istruct = ((const ItemInst *) container)->GetItem();
	if(c_type == 0 && istruct) {
		type = istruct->ID;
	}
	
	uint8 i;

	for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
		const ItemInst* inst = container->GetItem(i);
		if (inst) {
			const Item_Struct* item = GetItem(inst->GetItem()->ID);
			if (item) {
					buf3[ count ++ ] = item->ID;
					crc += item->ID;
			}
		}
	}
	
	if(count < 1) {
		return(false);	//no items == no recipe
	}

	sprintf( buf2, "%s", "select tre.recipe_id from"
		" tradeskill_recipe_entries tre, tradeskill_recipe where tre.item_id in ( " );
	for( i = 0; i < count; i ++ )
	{
		if( i != 0 )
		{
			sprintf( where[ i ], ", %d", buf3[ i ] );			
		}
		else
		{
			sprintf( where[ i ], "%d", buf3[ i ] );			
		}
		
		strcat( buf2, where[ i ] );
	}
	
	strcat( buf2, " ) and componentcount > 0 and tradeskill_recipe.id = tre.recipe_id"
		" and tradeskill_recipe.component_sum = " );
	sprintf( crcStr, "%d group by recipe_id", crc );
	strcat( buf2, crcStr );
	
	qlen = MakeAnyLenString(&query, buf2 );	
LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Error, "Executing query: %s", query);

	if (!RunQuery(query, qlen, errbuf, &result)) {
		LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Error, "Error in GetTradeRecept search, query: %s", query);
		safe_delete_array(query);
		LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Error, "Error in GetTradeRecept search, error: %s", errbuf);
		return(false);
	}
	safe_delete_array(query);
	
	qcount = mysql_num_rows(result);

	if( qcount != 1 )
	{
		if( qcount > 1 )
		{
			LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Error, "Combine error: Recipe is not unique!");
		}
		//else, just not found i guess..
		return(false);
	}
	else
	{
		row = mysql_fetch_row(result);
		theRecipe = atoi( row[ 0 ] );
	}

	mysql_free_result(result);
	
	return(GetTradeRecipe(theRecipe, c_type, tradeskill, spec));
}
