You did not said that you prepare the 'thumbnails' - small versions of the images. Thus, if you generate a page that includes 10 000 images (I suppose that they are really large images) then the client has to download all these images and shrink them for display. It will consume a lot of disk space, a lot of memory, a lot of CPU cycles, a lot of bandwidth. You should create smaller versions of your photos, for example by using the 'convert' program from ImageMagick package: mkdir thu; \ for x in *.jpg; do \ convert "$x" -thumbnail 200x200 -verbose thu/thu_"$x"; \ done and then, in the generated HTML you should make something like: <a href="image.png"> <img src="thu/thu_image.png" height="200" width="200" alt="image.png" /> </a> HTH. -- $ ls -lart /bin/ls: you must be root to use LART
