Hi Helena, Yeah, I was talking about extending the ImageReader, which already handles the resizing, to just write the newly resized image to disk. I want this because of the memory intensiveness you've mentioned. It turns it into essentially a one-time (hopefully non-cached) cost, then subsequent requests are read straight from disk instead of resizing yet again. I think this is a reasonable medium between pre-generating everything and dynamically generating everything. --tim
