> Also, try to avoid RMagick processing inside rails. People love their file_column, but RMagick is a fat nasty pig that cripples many sites without warning. The optimal setup is use something like BackgrounDRb or a plain DRb server and use a batch processing method.
I don't use file_column, but do use RMagick and haven't had any problems (and its author has been helpful with support). But I also only allow admins to use it. 43Things resizes images on the fly -- not sure if they use rmagick, but with all their users and all those images, it's gotta bump up the cpu and memory requirements quite a bit.
