The WP-Gallery2 integration plugin appears to be a cpu hog, and the server was overloaded when a spider was crawling my site and trying to d/l every single image. The thing I was unhappy is that even though I fixed the problem within hours, it took them 2 days to bring my site back.

I really have to look at getting rid of some features that I don’t need in Gallery2. It simply isn’t as efficient as say WP. Also it has some crazy implementation like only generating thumbnails when you first d/l the gallery pages. That’d really cause a spike in the cpu usage right there.It’s also too bad that the hosting provider don’t have php caching solutions like eaccelator installed on their servers, that’d really help everyone I think.

The only time I ever got dinged for bandwidth was one month where I went over my limit. Not just a one day thing. In my case, it was also about gallery usage. I had a ton of Shirow stuff on my site and word got out. Needless to say, I changed my account bandwidth and took some of the art off the site. I also changed the kilobyte size of a lot of the art I had. That helped, but in the end, it just wasn’t worth having all those images.

I hope this doesn’t happen to you anymore. Changing ISPs can be a pain.
