Images are slow to load #227

Open MortenHofft opened 2 years ago

MortenHofft commented 2 years ago

I've noted that images for the most part take around 3.2 seconds to start receive the first byte. I suspect the reason is that Thumbor is really slow at generating webp images. The compression might be better, but if it takes 3 seconds to generate them, then it is hardly worth it. Perhaps we should go back to just using jpg? @MattBlissett is there anything we can do to speed this up?
