Bluehost : Coppermine CPU Exceeded

This is a bluehost question posted by matthewsage on 27 November 2007

I realize that this has been covered and talked about extensively in this forum. However, there is one aspect I would like to bring up to see if anyone here has any suggestions.

Expecting a shared-hosting website to handle all of the image resizing and thumbnail creation is too much, and I know that. But I get the dreaded CPU exceeded error just by adding the photos into the coppermine database. I create all of the thumbnails and intermediate images locally and then upload via ftp. But, I have to insert them (i.e. have coppermine parse the exif and iptc data) into the photo program, otherwise I can’t display. This parsing is taking over the cpu everytime. I have over 9000 photos to add, and I do them in batches as small as 50 and it still too much.

This is a vanilla bluehost fantastico install. I think I should be able to insert photos into the database. Is coppermine that poorly scripted?
