Well, my results are pretty good so far... I modified the snippet track and my track to call their find_path 1000 times each to make the difference in speed more apparent. Then I used both to track Tiamat from Market Square on a fresh installation of stock ROM and measured the run time for each.

Usr time: 12.47000 Sys time: 0.00000 Real time: 12.47031 Page faults: 0 Page reclaims: 16 You can see I'm looking at an almost 90% increase in speed from the snippet. This is very encouraging. I still have some testing left to do, and to add error checking etc to the track command, but I hope to post something in the next day or so. --Palrich.
