Not really - I'm using geoip perl and benchmarking apache with 500k hits on the perl script (lookup on a 25MB city binary database binary) didn't really tax the server at all....
if people like, I'll open it up to all - it's geolite, so it's not 100%.
Hey, if enough people are willing to subscribe at, say $1/10k lookups, I'll get the main, pretty darn accurate maxmind city database...
