I have a image side show on the top of my page, its about 600px by 200px, I have set 0 for the node and random for the sort, which is means unlimited images will be continute randomly showing, the problem is whenever people come to this page, the sideshow will try to lord all the images into the cache first, I can see on the browser status bar, ( I am using imagecache for images) it takes half minutes to load all the imagecache's images for the sideshow before showing the rest of my page. It cause the whole page struck there 。

Any way I can solve this problem out ?

Its a great module. thank you .

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem. After using Yslow for doing some performance tests, you could see it was downloading all the images in the imagecache folder, used by views_slideshow :(

This could not be the way of displaying random images...

This module as is will not do very well displaying tons of images. For the most part you probably good handle this by displaying 20 images and in the view setting the sort order to random. Then each page load it will load a random 20 images. Which would make a long enough slide show, but not incredibly long.
