Faster galleries

For Lazyest Gallery 0.16.5, I made some small changes in the way (cached) thumbnails are created. In previous versions, all thumbnails were being created at the server while computing the code for this page. On galleries with many new images, this could mean long download times or even blank pages because of  a PHP time out. Now, all images cached or uncached will be created asynchronously after the page has loaded in your browser. This will improve the total loading time of your gallery dramatically.

Version 0.16.5 als contains bug fixes to display folder and image captions in the broswer title bar. Thanks to davidddn.

When you experience a "white screen of death" like discussed below, you need to update to version 0.16.6.

    Lazyest Gallery 0.16.5 seems to be slowing my site down beyond belief. It’s painfully slow. Any ideas why?
    Thanks.

    hi mschroder,
    I have tesetd one of your pictures in a folder with the same directory name as one that fails on your site, but I can’t reproduce the error on my test site.
    Just for your reference : http://test.brimosoft.nl/?page_id=118&file=july%20-%20dec%202010/2010-07-18%20%281%29.jpg.

    I am having an issue since the update, my albums load fine, the thumbnails in each album load fine, but once you click on any of the thumbnails the whole page will not load, just a white page.
