Gallery blocks slow site *way* down

I've got the Gallery module working quite nicely with PHP-Nuke 7.9, with one minor little nit....

When I enable either of the Gallery blocks, the site performance goes to pot. My page load times go from ~2 seconds to anywhere from 8 seconds to 30 seconds, and the CPU load on the server skyrockets.

Thoughts?

which block files? these all have to call the Gallery API. In theory, the load times w/ the blocks shouldn't be any longer than the load times of your gallery pages.

block-G2_ImageBlock.php
block-G2_Sidebar.php

I've tried both, and while the ImageBlock seems to have less of an impact, it still has some.

I have found that turning off the display of the number of views seems to help a bit on the ImageBlock. I'd really like to use Sidebar, but it just kills performance.

if you want to use the sidebar, go to the g2 admin and configure what information is shown in there, that way you can eliminate things you don't want/need to show, and speed things up a little.
