Hi,
I would like to use imagefield under drupal6 with cck to make a gallery. I don't have to provide own links for images, so it is possible to upload several images to one node. I made a new a content type which contains the imagefield and a body, where I can add some details about the gallery.
So my question is which is better from the view of effectiveness and performance, to take each image into one node, or make one node with several images. There would be about 10000 images with the generated thumbnails. The galleries won't be divided equally so there would be like one gallery with 300 images and the other with 3000.
I would like to small amount extra modules as I could, but Views is available.
Thanks for the tips in advance. :)

Nothing? :(

Drupal, Git, Docker, Linux, PHP…

I think it depends on how you want your gallery to be set up. If you ever intend on moving one or several images from one gallery to another, perhaps it's better to have one image per node linked via node-reference or taxonomy. Else you'll have to delete it from one node and re-upload it to another.
