==Page Loads Slowly when I have a lot of versions==
When you upload many versions of a graphic file, the file page itself may load slowly because thumbnails need to be created for each and every version.  A good example where this is happening is [[:File:ES Open Items History.jpg]].  This problem does not occur for non-image file uploads.  Where this can become a particular problem is if readers of pages that include the image click through to see it in a larger size.  It's not typically a big problem for the editor who is uploading new versions because accessing this page doesn't happen everyday and a delay while it fully loads isn't the worst thing.  However, there are known cases where the number of versions have gotten so long that it can cause the computer to crash.
