Database Efficiency

[torrfura]

For each image that is run through wp_thumb, a bunch of rows with meta data is created. Since I always use default settings. Are these rows motivated?

If it's really needed, it should also be more efficient if you store the data in 1 row / image, using serialize(). I'd love to contribute, but are not really familiar working on other peoples code like this.

Using serialized data, could also reduce alot of "get_post_meta()" calls you have at the moment.

Hmm WP Thumb shouldn't create any rows in the database, it doesn't have any functionality built in that will do that. The only thing I can think is it is somehow triggering wp_generate_attachment_metadata

Can you paste the rows that are being inserted?

Using serialized data, could also reduce alot of "get_post_meta()" calls you have at the moment.

Again, not sure what rows this is for?

Might it have something to do with Wordpress 3.5 perhaps?

I don't add any watermarks, no aftertouch what so ever, it seems like wp_thumb run wpthumb_media_form_watermark_save() anyway (#371, wpthumb.watermark.php)

These are added for every single image:

meta_id post_id meta_key    meta_value
3248    1051    wpthumb_wm_mask default
3247    1051    wpthumb_wm_pre_resize   0
3246    1051    wpthumb_wm_padding  0
3245    1051    wpthumb_wm_position top-right

Ok, if any of the above are not sure, they will be deleted from the database now
