 * Hi,
 * I still have a very slow site and am not sure why. If I try to run a slideshow,
   I get this sort of message:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   4715687 bytes) in /home/ausw7332/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album-
   plus/wppa-functions.php on line 512
 * (Happened specifically on Galleries>Australia>Birds)
 * Any ideas of what to do please? The site [http://www.auswildlife.com](http://www.auswildlife.com)
 * The main images are 1000px on the longest dimension. Is this too large?
 * Many thanks, Bruce

 * The size of the photos are rather big, but that only slows down the download 
   to the visitor and can not be the cause of the error.
 * The album is rather big ( over 500 photos ), therefor my recommendation is to
   paginate both thumbnail views as slideshows. This will most likely solve the 
   memory issue.
 * Table I-C7 and I-B5. Suggested values: 50. This will speed-up the pages for the
   visitor substantially.

 * Hi, thanks very much for that. The only thing I can’t find though, is I-B5 . 
   My table goes from I-B4 to B7.
 * cheers, Bruce

 * I meant: Table I-B**8**: Slideshow pagesize. Introduced in version 5.0.15, while
   you are still on 5.0.9
