I'll leave the heady question about speeding up time to the physicists, but why would you want to? I'm always trying (in vain) to slow down time. What you can speed up is BubbleTimer. It's now been 2 weeks since BubbleTimer's servers got a major upgrade. There is now roughly 6 times the computing power on tap as there was before, and a key piece of system software was upgraded as well, and it is delivering additonal performance improvements on the software side.

I kept the announcement fairly quiet, other than mentioning the maintenance window (BubbleTimer was down for about 15 minutes during the cut over to the new servers). I didn't want to announce that a big performance increase was imminent and then dissapoint if the improvements didn't live up to my expectations.

Now that I have 2 weeks of performance numbers in, I can safely say that for the slowest operation, navigating to a different day, BubbleTimer is about 4 times faster than it was. Similar improvements exist across the other operations that were computationally intensive, but since those were not as noticably slow, you're less likely to recognize the improvements.

I hope better performance increases your enjoyment of BubbleTimer and encourages you to use it, when you need to, to keep yourself on track with how your spending your time. It's no fair having an activity called waiting on BubbleTimer anymore!
