Have a look at what you wrote:
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 20 -->
<!-- END TOPLIST 411 -->

there does not seem to be an easy way to populate a list of categories along with the links within it, using a simple <ul><li></li></ul> approach.

Nested toplists aren't impossible, but it would be murder on the server and your page would take 40 seconds to load.

If you're doing a one-page links page, use link types instead of categories and do toplists of each link type.

indentations were lost in above example

Always use the code tags when posting code.

The query is just as intensive wherever you do it from, as far as I can see. You can do it, but it's quite impractical unless you make it be a weekly build of some static resource (kind of like the category selector). Even then I wouldn't be surprised if it timed out if you have many cats/links involved, so perhaps only practical on a dedicated where it can be run as a cron.
