I released Easy IP2Country - a new Wordpress plugin that shows an country icon flag next to the comment author name.
the plugin is based on IP2C, and is very simple to install: simply unzip in your plugins directory and activate.

I released a small library to resolve the country an IP address belongs to.
The library, IP2C - is released under GPL2, and supports PHP, Java and command line.
Performance is great:
250 searches a second for PHP, and 330,000 searches a second for Java (too good to be true, but those are my results). it IS too good to be true. I wrote a benchmark program and it shows about 7000 searches/sec on directly on the file, and about 170,000 searches/sec with memory cache.
The library works on a binary file so you don’t need to mess with a database to use it.
