If working with images over the network, loading as Image byte array, it just takes time. That work has to be shared with other work over the network. With some code examples of how you are loading, I might be able to provide a better answer.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
