Recently doing almost anything on my gallery2 installation is causing huge CPU usage on my server, which results in my resource limit being hit. For example, loading a single page of thumbnails.

Any ideas what is causing this? I have other php based applications (gallery1 and zikula) that don't cause this.

My gallery has over 40,000 images...have i reached a limit?

Sounds like you might be having similar problems to me:

My installation of Gallery 2 ran fine for years, but I recently moved to a new hosting service and it doesn't seem to be able to handle the load.

Gallery 3 is apparently a much lighter load on the server, but it doesn't really work for me because you can't have albums that are 'hidden islands' - unhidden albums inside of hidden ones.
