Quicker bulk optimize

    Please find a way to do a quicker bulk optimize.

    I know the plugin doesn’t reoptimize images that are already optimized – that’s great. But it still seems to check every one (against its table, I guess?) and that can take a really, really long time for large media libraries. If I’ve added just a few new images to my 900+, and they’re somehow not optimized (e.g. say I had EWWW deactivated when they were uploaded), then rather than taking the reasonable minute to do them, I’ll wait an hour while it goes through all the old ones!

    Why not just store a date of last bulk optimize and optimize any images newer than that date? (And ignore the date if force reoptimize is checked.) Or something like that. EWWW keeps a huge database table; can’t it be used more effectively?

    Thanks for a wonderful plugin in all other respects! ^_^

    The database lookups are not the cause of the slowness, the ajax is. But that’s the only way we manage to keep it running for hours on end. The database lookups take mere milliseconds, but each ajax request takes the full round-trip time between you and your server to process. From the list view in the Media Library, you can select individual images, or whole pages of images at once and just optimize those via the bulk actions drop-down, so I think that would help you out.

    Ah, okay. That does help.
