Constellation Now Loads Node Graph Data Faster

I coded some major optimizations into my Flash network navigation interface, Constellation. The demo below loads a directed node graph of movies and actors with over 300 nodes and over 400 edges. This used to take about four seconds and I've cut the load time by over 80% by adding some simple index hashes. For huge node graphs, it's much better to load data iteratively but projects with less than 1000 nodes and edges can be loaded all at once without imposing huge delays.
