Hello,

First of all, I absolutely love this piece of software - usability and intuitiveness is outstanding.  Thus, I'm hoping to contribute to help improve.

I've been seeing some memory usage which I consider questionable.  I honestly don't have the time to dig into the code and determine if its a Joomla thing, php thing, or a RSGallery2 thing.  I was running out of memory at 256M, but this is a dedicated machine for serving up web content.  So, I had to bump it up to 512M just to add a new subgallery.

System: 
Ubuntu Hardy
Joomla 1.5.3 stable
RSGallery2 2.0.0b1
Current albums:  7 parent galleries, 54 in the next level down.  61 rows in the galleries table.  3k data size for the table.

So, to track down where the memory is going, I had a teminal window open with Top running so I could see the memory change.  The following is the sequence of events followed by what the memory reported AFTER the action.  So, it will list the action that I did, and then what the memory showed after doing that action.

Start - 93M in use for the OS
Login to Joomla page renders - 102M
Login as admin - 107M
Go to RSGallery2 / Galleries - 120M  (!!!)
Click the "New" icon.  Page renders - 129M (!!!)
Enter name of new gallery, assign a parent item, click save - 135M (!!!)
Click the "New" icon.  Page renders - 144M
Enter name of new gallery, assign a parent item, click save - 144M
Click the "New" icon.  Page renders - 144M
Enter name of new gallery, assign a parent item, click save - 144M
(third time is a charm, and it seemed to stabilize after this)

Although I don't seek an explanation, I can see some serious load going on and wondering if improvements could be made to optimize the memory in several spots.

I didn't do any memory analysis of uploading single or batch, but would be happy to look at that if someone already hasn't.

Thanks for listening!
