[Leica] New photo

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

There is definitely something wonky with Gene Duprey's gallery. I am using a 
very fast computer, I am on the same LAN as the server, and the server logs 
show that it is relatively idle. I can copy files to and from the server in 
a twinkling. There is no network problem and the server is not overloaded.

But when I try to look at Gene's excellent photos, I find that sometimes 
they take a very long time to load and sometimes they only take a moderately 
long time to load. In random tests of a few other galleries, I don't see 
this slowness.

There's this glorious new server hardware sitting unopened next to my desk, 
which I haven't had time and energy to unpack and install, but there ought 
to be no problem with the current server with loads this light.

I think that I'll try installing the newest version of the gallery software. 
This is, alas, not as simple as I would like, because the LUG Photo Contest 
gallery uses a customized version of the software and I'll need to separate 
some stuff out so that upgrading the main LUG gallery won't break the 
Contest gallery.

There are days when I hate computers. This might be one of them.
