Today was busy
I woke up this morning with a feeling this was going to be a different kind of day. Arnaud and I wrapped up some dev work last night around 11PM and I could not get myself out of bed before 9:30AM or so. Got into my new car (I’ll talk about that later), drove to the big W, and as soon as I opened the door, got my left foot on the floor, my cell phone started to ring.
“Helloooo-ooo”, I sung
“Hey GT - how are you? It’s Xavier”
“I’m doing fantastic. What’s up?”, I said.
“Hmmmm… don’t freak out, but, I think we’re having serious issues with the server”, he said. “I cannot login from home, and I’ve tried to contact people but everyone’s sleeping or something”, Xavier said.
“OK” (voice I think got a little scratchy all of the sudden).
I rush to my computer, see Anne-Laure at the office and start screening all our network status reports, etc. Big traffic surge - ok - but no worse than the last few weeks. We’ve been growing steadily day-over-day. GC gets in. And Arnaud. Ideas fly by. Nothing too promising. What’s going on?
Solution came by around 3PM - in 3 steps, all at once. Like a bug huge hallelujah of sorts. Arnaud nailed the DB, I fixed the app server, GC debugged the network config. WOW - we can login now. WOW - we’re way faster than a few days earlier. WOW - it’s WAMBO BABY!
OK, back to our secret killer project. This product rocks. Love my job 
PS: the video up there was shot just a few minutes ago. Pretty’ Fast!!

Hi Patti - it’s pretty normal since the acceleration depends on how compressed your photos are in the first place. For photos that already have been “Speed Boosted” you will get no additional acceleration. Hope this helps. I will ask the support team to post on the topic.
