- marc2242, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2Looks like a useful plugin.
- macournoyer, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2Thx for pointing this out Andy, but your plugin don't do any caching at all. The whole point of my plugin is the caching part.
The problem w/ Gravatar is that it's sometime slow or down, so your page takes forever to load. Might be less true now that it was acquired by Automattic : http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/10/18/now-with-grav ... - AndyBeard, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1The problem is from what I have seen up until recently, more people have MyBlogLog registrations, though this might change with a wordpress.com merger.
If you cache the images yourself, that is more hits on your server when you have high traffic load. Lots of small hits can be nasty.
From what I have read, Gravatars has already been moved onto better servers and is being optimized.
When you have posts with 200 or more comments, loading even 100 small images from your own server is a problem.
You also lose any benefit from browser caching as many people frequent the same blogs. - chebuctonian, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1Links please.
