Massive shoutout to AVee for making some huge optimisations in BeaconDB's map generation code, not only fixing map updates (it was crashing on the new server) but cutting down processing time from ~1 hour to **a few minutes**!

We just hit 800k cell towers?!? This jump in new cell towers being discovered is actually crazy. Thanks everyone ❤️

Graph by @pinguin: https://beacondb.derpingu.in/cell.svg
Graph displaying amount of cell towers in BeaconDB's database over time. The graph shows that historically the database would increase at a rate of around 3.5 thousand cell towers per day, but throughout December that has been a jump in the amount of cell towers being discovered. Over the past week there has been an average of 10 thousand new cell towers per day, 3 times last month's average daily increase.
