Depends how much that affects performance in practice - something that *just* thumbnails could be all sorts of more efficient, but you'd need a new program for each function, and most Unix users of MediaWiki thumbnail with ImageMagick already so it'll be there. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
