Any help would be apreciated.

none of the files were that big.  I've never seen calling an image file like 
that.  What are the
benefits?

Your server is being flooded with excessive connections that seem to
exhaust your server memory.

Consider serving the images with a multithreaded HTTP server dedicated
to static content like images and CSS, like thttp.

Here you may find more details on what you can do to solve that problem:

two possible reasons:

1. to hide the true location of a file and/or force viewing according to 
certain rules
(much easier to perform the logic to determine whether a file should be 
returned to the requester
when you have a programming language to write it in)

2. to be able to generate/change images on the fly (e.g. shown a thumbnail of 
an image)

two things that might be going wrong:

1. file.php is opening the session (the defautl session handler does session 
locking so that
all requests to file.php will be handled in series rather than in parrallel)

2. file.php is generating images and not caching the results (if you did cache 
the results
the page would only, in theory, be slow to load the images on the first view of 
the page
- subsequent requests would be returned the cached copy of the generated image.

of course there are many more things that could be going wrong - the OP would
have to show some code (i.e. whatever is in file.php ;-) in order for us to 
determine
the problem though.
