it takes a lot to look up an ip and match it with a city and then draw an image (ive run that database for fun at my house)

they should consider caching the images since they deal with so much traffic.

and i do mean saving an image of every single ip address to disk...

ie: 127001.jpg

or mayve /127/0/0/1.jpg

seems like a lot, but considering the size of the operation its not all that crazy of an idea
