I did this to speed it up originally:

SELECT B.zipcode
FROM zipcodes B
WHERE
B.zipcode between '27002' and '28002'
getDistance('27502',0.0,0.0,'',B.latitude,B.longitude)

That caused it to only look at 1000 zip codes instead of 42000 zip codes.

the lat/long adjustment would probably be more effective.. or perhaps at
least, more accurate.
