I'm a newbie in terms of using VPS, but his is a sample i got from my support:

User Domain %CPU %MEM MySQL Processes
osito3 ositobarrigon.com 2.45 369.57 2.4
Top Process %CPU 10.2 httpd [ositobarrigon.com] [/dll_resize.php?linkid15&size275]
Top Process %CPU 4.5 httpd [ositobarrigon.com] [/dll_resize.php?linkid378&entityid14&size75]

Also, I realized resize is taking lot more than before in anizeen.com. You think it is possible to add an extra image size to have a medium and a regular thumbnail without using the resize script?

Thanks

I think this is possible, but will need some work, which I will look into. I also think you are right that this is a potential cause of high overhead with graphics rich sites such as yours.

v3.0.x of LDM does contain some other settings for reducing cpu overhead (at a cost of extra memory usage), which you might like to test - see the display bit caching settings in the ldm/admin/settings page. I'd appreciate reports.
