I worked on the programming submit file and narrowed down the script from a size of 4395 bytes to 2590 bytes.  That means there was a lot of bulky, unnecessary code in there or code that could have been simplified or simply wasn't doing anything or anything useful.  I think that I pruned it down about as much as it can be.  I am sure there is more that I can do to shorten it, but this is really quite an improvement.  The script should now run 3 or so times faster now.

This is sort of a test file before I reroute nearly all of the submit files to one file.  It should make things run faster and make the site simpler and easier to manage and make site expansion much faster and easier.  The submit file is the file that updates the database when I hit the submit button.

Next up is to see how much I can prune the form script that is to be submitted.  It shouldn't take long to look through.  The script is smaller, simpler, and as I looked through it is already pretty efficient.
