Performance -- Map updates

[kisaacs]

The map takes a long time to update after a variable is selected. Please see the Performance tab in Developer Tools (e.g., where you check the console) and report on where the loading time is spent.

Let's see if it is possible to speed it up.

It would also be good to time how long each query takes and report it. We can sample this several times a day to figure out how variable it is. It should be possible to write a automated script to test the query, perhaps using cron to schedule it.

Step 1: Put timers around database call and rendering call. Verify you can time what happened.
Step 2: Automatically run the program with a few test calls -- and have this program run every hour and write data to a common file.
