I have heard reports that sometime when batch adding over 50 files, the server usage spikes with coppermine.

What i am wondering is, would it still do it to a level where most hosts will cut your site if all coppermine has to do is make thumbnails. See, i use a photoshop action to make them the size i want then have coppermine set to not make intermediate files and just the thumb. What do you think the usage would be?

I know this would be different for every server but a general idea would be great. I am NOT using imagemagik

thanks

never heard of a host kicking or complaing to customers for batch-adding 50+ pics using GD, works easily for me and all I know who does this on a regular basis. GD will create the thumns sequentially, unles ImageMagick (will create 50 simultaneous processes), should not be a problem.

AHHH! That might have been my problem with my last host and my giant gallery! I was batch adding between 100 - 300 pictures to my galleries in a steady stream for at least an hour. Using ImageMagick may be what did me in.

My curiousity is partially satisfied now, thank you!
