Back to the server load issue mentioned a few pages back...
I think it would pay to redo the hack so that it only updates the MEMEBER map once a day (at an off time) and then have it do the calculations for the WHO IS ONLINE every 15-minutes... The server load has to come from plotting thousands of members (MEMBER MAP) as opposed to the dozens to hundreds (WHO'S ONLINE) so splitting the two tasks would save a lot of server load...
I am swamped with work but if nobody else beats me to it I will see about splitting the tasks so that seperate CRON jobs can make it run.
