Massive Speed Boost!
Made a huge breakthrough in Live Gallery App’s image ingestion! 🚀
The initial stage of ingesting 6,000 images used to take 3 minutes.
Thanks to recent optimizations, it now completes in just 7.9 seconds.
That’s a 22x speedup—over 95% faster! 🎉
This is only stage 1: thumbnail generation and metadata extraction are handled separately. Still testing before full rollout, but this is a big step forward.
The original phrasing was a bit off — the process now takes 95% less time, which means it’s about 2,178% faster overall! That’s a huge 22x speed boost! 🚀
Exactly how many people complained about the long wait?
Precisely zero! I'm aware of the adage 'Premature optimisation is the root of all evil'. This came up as a by-product of other work I'm doing
