All the data was pulled down (using Processing, of all things) via the API, and probably took around 12 minutes (when it's behaving itself) as I was being a) gentle with the servers b) was getting it as JSON which takes a while for Processing to parse each page.
And then written to a flat file.The code then goes on to read the file back in and render that above globe. Each frame represents 2 minutes, and so the first 720 frames == 24 hours, at ~30 frames per second == 24 seconds to display the whole day.
