Thanks. I can't take all the credit, though. Once I moved it to better hardware and a decent connection, it started running real fast. Since then I've added a lot of features and have tweaked it to run even faster. And more reliably.

I can still tweak about 30-40% better performance out of it, though, and once I've got the merchant account and automated subscription handling behind me, that'll be my next major focus.

It's a good thing I'm responsible for business aspects of it, or I'd spend 100% of my time just tweaking that last little bit of performance out of it. That's always been my favorite kind of programming. I love fast, efficient code and databases.

I've got it at a point now, though, that it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell when I've successfuly wrung some more speed out of it, since I'm on a dialup connection. There's little difference between "Zip!" and "Zip!!".
