It looks like thumbnails are stored as their orininal size and resized depending on the thumbnail.php string you pull them with.
My site uses only static html pages (except search and a few custom pages)
But when I start getting a lot of connections the rendering of thumbnails seems to be the bottleneck.
Is there any tips or tricks i can use here? I would much rather have copies of the thumbnails of different sizes than to dynamically resize on the fly.
hmmm... Well I could have been completely wrong about that.. Let me look again.
ok. Mine are set to random file names so i didn't notice it right away. It looks like there are different sizes stored for the same image. Thanks for clearing that up babrees.
I guess I just need to upgrade servers. Had 3k page views in the past few hours and am trying to figure out how to keep it alive.
Yes, I had to change servers too and the program does now run faster, although can still sometimes be rather too slow for my preference.
BTW, I like your site :-) I have been thinking of generating html pages on my sites. I tried it with a previous version but there was a bug in part of it. I understand Paul has fixed it (although untested) but I've not had time to try it again. Think I shall wait a bit as I'm having a few hiccups with v.3.3.8 and I see you had one too.
Thumnails are cached in WSN Gallery, and can be cached in WSN Links if you use {ATTACHTHUMBURL} in your template for the thumb location... I don't recall if the default templates use that, hopefully they do.

Hi
My thumbnails are not done on the fly - if you look at your attachments folder you should see files beginning with thumb_
Not sure therefore why they should be causing a bottleneck - sorry can't help you there
