I don't need to do any of that. :)  You can be patient.  I also refuse to use 
jpeg, png or nothing.  I may consider getting a co located machine, but then 
again, do i really care? not really.

I don't use photoshop, I use gimp.  Static HTML wouldn't be any faster than 
coppermine.  All the images are pre-rendered.  The back end is powered via 
mysql, no cpu usage at all to display anything, so going to static html isn't 
going to help a damn thing.

You can't do batch uploads via SCP that way, screw that.  Also, read the EULA, 
no thanks!  It also probably doesn't allow PNG file types.  Lossy compression 
is for losers.
