I forgot to change from json to ujson

FML.

@alwaysmpe Snark: If it won't work for 1, it won't work for 1 million.

I actually just forgot that at the last second I changed to ujson for speed. It's a module that I've been using for awhile. I just changed that one import and forgot to change that one call. It's something I should have caught though.

And that kids, is why we use compiled languages.

Although I too really like Python :)
