Re: [Ids-devel] IDS speed and modperl/fcgi

[Scott S. <ss...@sc...>]

I would concur with that assessment.

I also notice that for the most part people only look at the 512 sizes
of the images.  If the previewmaker could create those as well then that
would solve a lot of the speed issues that I see.

I do have though over probably 10k images at this point and that will
eat up a lot of disk space.  The whole speed for space problem.
