Title: Prefer to use simplejson if it is available

I've seen simplejson outperform the standard json module at least on Python 2.7.

I figure it probably can't hurt to try to import simplejson first, if it is available, for the added performance boost. This will still fallback to the standard built-in Python json module if simplejson is not available.
