Go See Live Music...FASTER!

It's amazing what a few hours staring at your source code will do.

Today I noticed a bunch of JamBase city related searches were timing out, so I dug in deep and discovered that there was a lot of redundancy and inefficiency in our database calls. After much prodding and pulling, fixing and re-fixing, realizing that progress is trading one set of problems for another (chinese proverb), I'm pleased to report that the JamBase Tour Date Search is now noticeably faster, especially for "beyond city" searches.

Give a whirl at http://www.jambase.com/search.asp and please let me know if you encounter anything un-expected, including a faster than expected search results.

Happy Searching!
