I am getting close to finishing a new program that also supports 5min caching of the time. This way it does not half to load if a user has requested the data recently. This will logically cause a 5min delay in states from when a user goes from online to offline.

My program uses 1/1,000,000 less code to do the same thing as the old one and will greatly improve performance. :wtg:

As you can see the new steam integration is up and runs faster than ever! Not only do we have internal caching but I even made it so that it will only query the first 1,000 symbols thus making it so that it will not take a long time to load if a user has got a bunch of stuff in their profile as it only loads what it needs. Not that it needs much as the query is xml now vs http and the data would only need to be called again once every 5min assuming the user appears on a lot of threads!

No just that it only requests the data once every 5min assuming that the page it is on is run every 1second. So if a user has a lot of posts all over the place only 1 time every 5min will that users steam data be requested.

oh ok so it will show the steam data in all places from only requesting the data once.....right?
