I have put togther a little page that shows the last hour of ISS traffic on a map and some recent data http://vk4tec.no-ip.org/cgi-bin/iss_track3.cgi refresh is 60 seconds
Nice project.
Probably due to my being on the other side of the world, but it took over 2 minutes for the map to be drawn (I am on a very high bandwidth network at work)... So there is a bottleneck somewhere.
You could probably greatly speed things up if it was a lower resolution map? It appears that the one you are using is a 244K image. Whereas the map from FINDU (www.ariss.net) loads in about one second and is only a 15k map.
But your site shold be much faster for people in your hemisphere I would think... ?
