Hello, my host provider told me that they will block my account if I don't optimize the CPU usage of the script image_thumbnail.php

They told me that this script used ~ a 16 % of the CPU:

What can I do? I've deleted the thumbnails in the posts which appear in the portal, but I don't know what can I do.


Thanks!!

I would like to know your opinion about the changes that I've tried:

• Deleted the thumbnails in the posts which appear in the portal. Before there were 14 images, now if the user wants to see the image, he can visit the link to the image
  
  
• "Thumbnails quality in Album (1 - 100)": Before was 85, now it is configured to 65.
  
  
• "Thumbnails quality in topics": Before was 80, now, it is configured to 65.
  
  
• I've Disabled some "resizing" options:
  - Resize images in signatures
  - Resize attached images
  
  
• Thumbnails cache enabled in posting
  
  
• Finally, the number of rows and columns of thumbnails showed in Albums and Personal Galleries (before it was 5 rows and 4 columns, now I've changed it to 4 rows and 3 columns).

Should I change thumbnails size? I'm thinking on configure a smaller size of thumbnails. Is that a good idea?

Are all this changes enough? Can anybody suggest anything else? Thanks :up:

I think those changes in the quality doesn't take any effects in the way of reducing the amount of memory that the php file needs.

disabling resizing features will be good for optimizating the performance.

Cache will also be good

Decreasing the number of rows and columns only will take effect if the viewer gets boring on viewing so many pages, so he/she will see less pictures, but every time the php program is called no changes in the amount of memory needed will take...

I wasn't speaking about the memory... the question was related to the CPU usage.

Anyway, thx for your answer! ;)

If the problem is just related to images in post, what you can do is try disabling the thumbnails.

Regarding FAP, I'm going to release a new version of FAP which is really fast with thumbs (you can try the album on my site to check! :wink: ).

What you did is good though... let me know if your host is now ok with these settings.

I've disabled all the features which was using the script image_thumbnail.php (signatures, posts, and closed temporary the album).

Now all is well with these settings, but if I use another time more resources than the limit, the host will close my account. :(

---

I will open the album the next week... I'll configure the Album to show fewer images (2 rows and 2 columns), and I'll ask the host provider about the CPU usage periodically.

Bye!

I'll modify the image_thumbnail.php because it seems that too many users are having problems with it. :roll:

Thanks!

Keep me informed (if you want ;) ), because I tried to open the Album again and I'm near to the limit again :?

Never modified that file yet... but I'll do it soon. :wink:

Be patient a little bit.
