Depends how much traffic you get... You could write a caching system so that oft-used images have their thumbnails stored in static files. Or you could cram the thumbnail into the DB in another field, and only imagecopyresize it ONCE. Or both. If you're already cramming a 500K image into your DB, what's another 20K? :-) Insert obligatory don't store images in DB flame-war here. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
