Re: Speaking of which... Why is the Picture Gallery so slow?

Here's what I notice from either of my connections (dual T1 at the office and 1.5Mbps cable at home):

• Forums are pretty quick, even when the connection is oviously maxed out. Occasionally, I'll see some lag when clicking on a link. For example the current Speaker Asylum page (103k in size) loads in just a couple of seconds.
  
• Photos load slowly, even small (50-60k) ones.
  
• The opening page of the gallery, showing inmate names, date updated, etc. is also slow to load.
  
• Inmate galleries and the thumbnails themselves load pretty quickly, even those with dozens of thumbnails.
  
• Classifieds are fast.
  

I'd take a look at the view.pl script, or possibly the i.pl script on the page that shows the full-sized photo:

img src="/cgi/i.pl?u=users/64&f=D500.jpg" width=300 height=534

But I'd bet a static reference to the image files, rather than using another sript, would be faster. This is what you've done with the thumbnails themselves:
