i have an issue with site linking directly to my images.
the problem is these images are generated on the fly with php/gd -- they're
generated each time its viewed because i have done some watermarking
manipulation and didnt want to watermaker them in a static way. they're
including the images like this:
<img src=http://mydomain.com/script.php?pic=232">
not only is bandwidth usage increase but so does cpu because php/gd has to
process them as well.. if they're including 5 or 6 of these images on a
single page i can imagin how much cpu is being used.
how can i work around this, if at all possible?
