Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

I have LR 4 using CE4 now, and what used to take 5-7 minutes to export a gallery of about 60 images, is now taking about 20-25 minutes. Anything I can do to speed it up?

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

that sounds like a long time for 60 images. What are your image rendition settings? What gallery type are you using?

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

I tried that and it took 13 minutes on 47 images. It seems it is all the single.php images dragging along for the high rez download?

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

those are for permalinks, there is no way for Gallery to generate hi-res images for download other than those already being created for the large image presentation.
Generating those pages does take a bit of extra time but it's also better for permalinks and social sharing:

I tried a gallery of 60 images at 1024px and it took less than five minutes. I'm guessing processing speed and RAM will make a difference here. Not sure though.

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

Thanks for your help Rod. I don't know. It was 1-3 minutes depending on file quanitity on export when I used CE3, now 10-20 minutes on export with CE4.

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

just tested a group of 66 images. exporting html galleries from CE3 an CE4. Mostly dng from a Nikon D300. A few from a D200 and a couple from a Canon G11. A few tiffs as well.
large images at 1200px, thumbs at 196px, standard sharpening, no watermarks. Jpg quality at 70.
Otherwise, I used CE3 and CE4 default settings.
CE3: 2:34
CE4: 6:36

CE4 enabling phplugins to generate php single image pages: 6:28

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

So it's 3 times longer to export? I just exported 53 at 70 jpg quality, 1024/194, sharpen standard and it took 12 minutes. Thanks for comparing the two CE's. Now I know I am not the only one.

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

I haven't compared times using Publisher, but at least with Publisher you can push the button and go do other things in Lightroom while it's uploading the images.

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

I wonder if publisher is ideal for me? Especially if I can do other things in LR while it's publishing? I'm also wondering if LR4 is slower than LR5 since I'm using LR4?

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

I see no difference between LR4 and LR5 in exporting the same gallery.

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

I've just republished 77 at 70 jpg quality, 1024/194, sharpen standard and it took 31 minutes [mostly Canon 5D CR2 photos]. It took 3 hours to publish 100 the other day, though I now suspect that the quality was 85.

I'm dreading publishing a gallery of 330!

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

So far, 144 uploaded in 3 hours 30 mins!

[Can't remember my supposed upload speed, but Virgin say my download speed should be 50 MB.]

2 hours later and up to 248.

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

Are you using Publisher, or is this an export and upload via ftp?

Re: Web CE4 Gallery Export Slow

Dave,
those uploads seem overly long. Can you repost the problem in the CE4 Publisher forum so that Ben will be more likely to see it?
