... Could this be the cause of my computer running slow on Nationstates for like the past minute?

I don't understand why you allow bots unto this website. Can't you just put one of those picture-code-a-ma-bobs when creating a new nation?

And possibly it's not storing that data, either, so if one person looks up The Pacific three times in a minute, NSEconomy tries to load every Pacific nation three times in quick succession.
If that's the case, NSE needs to be smarter about how it gets data from us. It's fine to trawl the site slowly, but hitting us with a flood of requests all of a sudden ties up the server, slowing it for everyone else.
We were running pretty slow but seem to be back to normal now.

The script isn’t quite that badly designed —the problem appears to have been caused by a very large number of hits from a search engine bot. I’ve blocked bots from my site, and have also reduced the number of nationdata requests a session (page load) can make. If it continues to cause problems, I can take more extreme measures…
