  • Highly performant, caching image resizer?

    I'm in the ocean in a life ring, somebody please pull me out!

    We have a client whose website gets a lot of traffic.  Lots of product images.  Lots of image resizing going on.

    What I need is a highly performant, .NET-based image resizer.  It needs to cache the resized images to disk so it doesn't have to resize every time the page loads.  Optionally, it'd be ideal if it supported varying image resizing algorithms.  And it'd be great if I could adjust the quality level.

    For the past three years, I've used United Binary's AutoImageSize component.  When it works, it's fantastic.  But, it crashes like nobody's business.  And nothing hurts my business like a component that crashes like nobody's business.

    Anyone have any ideas? 

    (Besides rolling my own using the uber-easy .NET framework.  I don't have time.)
