Now Even Faster!

So ... because I apparently had nothing better to do, I sped up the way the comics are delivered. Using ob_start() and ob_get_contents() to save the files somewhere, so those are in turn served up unless the content has changed (and the cache file doesn't exist)...

So, by doing that the pages are executed / "complied" a LOT faster. The times vary to some degree but on average it's at least %20 faster, but up to %700 faster (for you) in testing. This will probably only affect your load times but by about a whole second at most, but it actually saves some bandwidth ... MySQL usage ... and apache load times. Which right now doesn't make a lot of difference but if we ever get hammered with traffic (haha) everything will be just dandy.

But yea, definitely let me know if something messes up because of this. I got tired of testing things out over and over, so there are most likely bugs ... everywhere?!? Dun Dun DUNNNN!

Dear Kickass Viewers of The Spiffy Life,

I need to apologize to everyone that reads this site. As many of you have noticed, my comics have not been updated on time and the ones that have been posted are not of a high of quality. You guys come for a good comic and I should provide. I'll time management my biznass better. Basically, it comes down to this:

It's not you, it's me. You're great.

-Going to to do better,

-Guy
