 * Hi, I seem to be having quite a problem with FYN in terms of performance. I have
   3,750 records and the postcode search element seems to take a good 20 – 30 seconds
   to filter through, any recommendations on how to speed this up?

 * That is a lot of records… currently the search uses WPs own functions to query
   the database… for efficiency I would have to recode the search using sql directly
   so I could do the distance calculation as part of the sql query. This isn’t something
   I plan to tackle at the moment

 * Hi Adam,
 * No problem. Yeah it is a lot of records. If I get round to rewriting it then 
   I’ll give you the source. FYI I’ve added a feature to mark a record as a premium
   listing, it’ll show these ones first before the others. I’ll keep you posted.
 * Cheers,
    S
