Looks pretty cool, but can anyone explain why this is so slow? Is it this slow even if only one person is using it at a time?

I threw this together so quickly that I didnt honestly do much benchmarking. I will be trying to improve performance as much as I can. It does only pull high res photos from Bing. Which in itself, takes around 1 minute over CURL (longer if it gets hung up on a heavy file). The image processing takes another minute or two usually.
