 * Since the upgrade I have had an issue with the wordpress image editor exceeding
   the 30 second limit my webhost has for php scripts on shared servers. My webhost’s
   only suggestion is a dedicated server. Any chance there is something I can do
   through WordPress to get this working in my favor again?

 * What size images are you trying to upload? WP made a slight change in jpg image
   compression and that may be tipping things over the edge for very large images.

 * The largest is about 850KB. I did get a 70KB to load after I saw the change you
   mention, but I can’t get most of my images to export that small! Nor do I want
   them to. But it may be my only option in the long run. Just hoping for a better
   answer!
