OMG - 143,290 MSN Spaces

Yesterday my list of "Updated MSN Spaces" was just below 100,000...  I was looking forward to announcing the news this morning.  But, I wake up this morning and jump on the internet only to find that there are more than 140,000 spaces listed!  Apparently the list is getting more popular, because the exponential growth of the list depends on those viewing the list.

Since launch on July 23, the list has grown by an average of a little less than 8,500 spaces.  I expect this to climb much higher, considering the last 18 hours have increased the list by more than 50,000.

It also took forever to load the page...  I have fixed this and it is screaming fast!  The technical details involved indexing the database table for fields that are commonly searched, limiting the total number of records returned to the client, and creating default filters on the data if no search has been performed.
