The upload process is already time consuming. Doesn't hurt it much to include the resize processing with the upload. People want the images to appear quickly every time. Disk space is cheap and you want requests to images to go to the regular file serving (.jpg or .html) rather than through dynamic serving (.php or .aspx) to reduce load on the server.
- nullstyle 17y agoIt's not about the time it takes to resize a new image, it's about the time it takes to change _all_ of your images when design changes happen. a preprocess-only system means that you need to have a migration system in place, and it means that your designers have just a little more overhead to make tweaks. It's manageable, but producing the images on demand makes for a more easily changed system with fewer moving parts.
