Gallery Slowed Down
 

The past week we have been getting complaints about the Gallery.

When you go to upload an image the application stalls for a really long time, IE 1+ minutes on the upload page with the message Processing Upload... Please Wait!

This used to be instant but now all of a sudden it's a very long delay before moving forward.

Nothing has changed server wise and none of the servers are under stress. We have a 1 file serving, 2 load balancing apps and 1 DB server.

This is our stats;

Any ideas?

how big is the file your trying to upload? This is server not program issue here if I follow your example. Your server is uploading the file once it is completed then the application takes over and processes the file so the slow down is in your upload to the server which is outside the program code. The actual upload is dependent on your upload speed of your isp and the speed to your actual server and then the rate of speed your server accepts the upload.
