I thought about that. The problem is, that I want to allow very high
res uploads. If the user uploaded 20 pictures, and they went to a
gallery page for the first time, it would take a while to resize.
That could leave a bad first impression.

Currently, the user can upload up to six pictures at once. When the
uploads are complete, I then have a script that will resize the pix to
different thumbnails for speed. However, imagine resizing 6 pictures
of 2300x2200 pixels in 6 different sizes (maintaining the best quality
I can) on a Pentium 3 450Mhz running Ubuntu and 384 megs of ram.
Seriously.
Why not just upload the pics and leave resizing til the pics are fetched
for the first time? After that fetch from the filesystem.

Well, you could kick off a batch job to do your resizing, then return to the user. That way it can keep processing the images. The only thing you'll have to handle is when the user wants to display his gallery before it's ready.
