You shouldn't be embedding all those towns in a static format. They should be stored in the database and you should be querying against them. Storing all that data in a static format is going to be a maintenance nightmare. I'm also hoping you're not trying to return the entire 694KB on every request. You should only be returning items that match your subset of data. -Dan
