Im becoming convinced that 4images isn't appropriate for active sites. is there anyone with a 4images gallery installed that gets more than 2,000 unique visiters a day in their gallery?
I have my own dedicated server and the loads are usually pretty high when my gallery gets a lot of hits. I have random category images turned off, and the cache is turned on. Any other suggestions for how to reduce server load with 4images?

*tagging* this thread. I have many users, many images, a dedicated server (with other accounts of my own) and have performance problems too.

I'm having the same problems with my gallery as well. I have my own dedicated server:
1 GB RAM
2.40 GHz Celeron Processor
Everytime my load goes really high (up to 100.0 sometimes), my host always tells me that it's a mysql/php script causing it to go up. I disabled the account the 4images gallery is on for about a week. I didn't have ANYYY problems that entire week. This leads me to believe that it's a problem with 4images.
Can anyone help me? I love 4images so much and I would hate to have to switch to another system, but if I can't get this corrected, it looks like that's going to have to happen :(

1) enable cache feature (v1.7.1 required or you can find cache system for v1.7 mod in mods section)
2) disable random image (in includes/constants.php:// If you have a lot of images in your database,
// the random image function could make your programm slow.
// Try first to set "SHOW_RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE" to 0.
define('SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE', 1);
define('SHOW_RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE', 0);3) make your template code as simple as possible, as less code in your templates, as faster 4images compiles it.
4) optimize your database (you can do it with phpmyadmin)
5) you can enable some debugin information in includes/constants.php:// define("PRINT_STATS", 1);
// define("PRINT_QUERIES", 1);
// define('PRINT_CACHE_MESSAGES', 1);(just remove // from each line
This will display some information in the footer, which might help you determing the problem.
