Why is uploading images so slow?
I have noticed heavy CPU load on the server during upload, and I can understand there are some heavy picture manipulation going on. But I still find it slower than I would expect.
For me a typical image being uploaded is a 300kB JPG-picture and it takes some 30 seconds to upload.
The server is a RedHat 7.3 on a Celeron 300MHz with 128 Mb RAM.
It isn't very buzy otherwise, but it does have some memory demanding apps on it (squid and snort).

Could someone please identify the likely bottleneck for me?

Thanx / Niklas
