If you think about it you will be able to work it out, 10 seconds to resize a picture or a batch, so thats 10 seconds of one persons time, say 100 people look at the picture and it hasn't been resized but is using resize tags, bit more than 10 seconds for those 100 people added together, would you set up a website or page and use resize tags for the pictures? or would you load the pictures at the size you wanted in the first place? The less queries on the server the quicker things run and load.Originally Posted by FatBoyEric
