 * Would it be possible to increase the frequency of the cron job to speed up the
   image upload to Dreamhost. I assume the script is doing a lot in the background
   remapping urls etc, but waiting an hour and having broken images is kinda ugly.
 * Suggestions? I have been manually updating the migration, but that is time-consuming
   and tedious. Also tried setting up my own cron, but I am not sure what url to
   call.
 * Thoughts?

 * You shouldn’t have broken images, since it only changes them WHEN it uploads 
   them.
 * Job works like this: “Is this image uploaded? No? Upload and then change content.
   Next?”
 * Over and over. It schedules as many an hour as it calculates it can run, and 
   then starts over…

 * Thanks for the feedback. So, I suspect some other caching (Ajax, js) is probably
   interfering?

 * Maybe but that’s _really_ weird since the order is meant to be cache friendly.
   It won’t change your post unless the image is uploaded, and it doesn’t delete
   the media from the server, so there never should be an image broken moment… Even
   if you didn’t flush the cache, it would point to the old images which are still
   there.
 * What plugins and theme are you running?
