Small shop update

[Pri]

I'm sure you've all noticed that when you made a purchase in-game using the /search feature there was quite a long delay, about 1.4 seconds.

This was due to an oversight on my part, I was using a very slow way to get player information from our database to determine what shop discount you should have. I have now updated this code to work pretty much instantaneously (14ms now or 1% of the time it used to take!)

I've also sped up the way the online web based shop works and it too now makes purchases instantly. This is quite a minor change (literally 1.4 seconds has been saved per purchase ) so I'm writing about it here on the forums and not on the website.

I know for some of our power buyers these little delays really get on your nerves so I'm happy to have had the time today to correct this problem.

i wonder who qualifies as a 'power buyer.'

[Pri]

Probably people like Stephanie that bought 100,000 grass blocks Lol

Quite a few players have made huge purchases.
