I think G2 generates ALWAYS for each picture a new thumbnail when a User browses in the Gallerys. So G2 is very very very slow. Can I turn that off? A thumbnail should only cretaed once and not every time a user browse to the gallery.

Did I made a configuration mistake ???

No, G2 generates thumbnails and resized versions once and then stores it in the disk cache.

What are your system specs (RAM, CPU, ...)?

Where are these thumbnails saved?

I cannot find any thumbnails in "/var/www/g2d/albums/"

g2data/albums/ is for your original files
g2data/derivatives/ is for thumbs / resized versions. the directory structure is somewhat optimized (the subdirectory names are part of the itemId of the stored derivatives) and the files you'll find in there are not directly what you would expect. but these are actually images.

the specs sound quite good.
you should check top / uptime to check if the machine is constantly overloaded.
aqnd of course you could verify that G2 actually stores thumb/resizes in g2data/derivates/, but i don't think that this is the problem.

maybe you should run site admin -> maintenance -> rebuild thumbs / resizes. once that task is finished, it shouldn't do any image operation on-the-fly anymore.

Many thanks
