I have a zenphoto installation with a massive image archive. I have subdivided my images into a hierarchy of albums and with the current version (1.4.5.9) album viewing performance is great!
However, it is nearly impossible for me to edit albums. Currently it is taking longer than 5 minutes for the edit album page to show up, It's long enough that the proxy on my firewall typically decides that the server isn't responding and drops the connection. In order to edit an album I either have to be on my home network or forward a port via. ssh to bypass my proxy.
If I trace the php-fpm server I see that it is calling stat() on every single image in my entire gallery, not just the images in the current album I am editing. Do you have any idea why this is happening and how I might be able to stop it?
I'm running zenphoto behind nginx and php-fpm. For the most part this is working wonderfully, it's just the album editing and some of the admin functions that are painfully slow.
