How shared hosting spoiled my day
Created: 15 Nov 2008
Found the cause of the poor performance of the photo album. I was using the Exif information from my images to pull out information such as width and height, but my logic to do so was running at 15 to 20ms per image on my dev machine, but running at an awful 300ms on my shared hosting platform...grrrrr.
So i've turned off this feature and i'll think you'll see the performance is far better.
