Also, I don't know if this is really important or not, but I notice when merging posts, you have to re-edit to get the parsing.

Are you using $title or $aminfo[title]? $title wont get trimmed, the latter will.
Re: Merging, this makes sense if the post you merge into doesn't have ame in it, however it should work if the post you are merging to does (if that makes sense). Not sure it would be frequent enough to warrent the merge code, but will look into it!

Sounds like you may be using the file cache, but for whatever reason, the server can no longer write to the aminfo folder. Check chmod on the folder and its files. Alternatively, turn off the file cache.

AME is designed to have minimal footprint and won't increase load or queries on threads that contain no media. If you are using the file cache, there will be no additional queries when a post with AME appears, but load will increase slightly as the media definitions are loaded up into memory.

The more noticeable area for load with AME isn't really server load. If you are including media in a post that extracts destination data (i.e. a youtube video that extracts the destination pages title) then there will be a slight delay when you save the post as AME fetches the destination page and extracts the title. Obviously the more AME you have in a post, the longer this takes (i.e. if you put 10 videos in your post that all extract data, thats 10 pages AME will download while you are saving your post). Saying that, it is only when you save it. After that, its pretty much undetectable.
