Speed Up A* Pathfinding

There's a great tutorial which not only teaches you the typical A* pathfinding algorithm but how to speed up execution even further using something called "Jump Point Search".

It's a great read and if you like the tutorial be sure to check out the site it's hosted on, gamedev tuts+. Plenty more great tutorials, tips and videos to be seen.
