Is your upload location on an SSD or hard drive? Are you using the default thumbnail settings? Is this local or over the Internet?
Images are saved uncompressed.
I tested it on both hard disk, local and internet.
Storing the thumbnails on a hard drive definitely slows loading. If possible, you can mount /usr/src/app/upload/thumbs to a folder on your SSD and keep the main library on the hard drive
If I install USB 3.0 and move thumbnails to it, will it become faster? So where should I change this path? Are there any settings that need to be changed?
I would not use a USB drive, they're notorious for failing and connection issues. If you really only want to store thumbs on it, then just get a small SSD.
You would modify your docker compose with the path adjustments Zeus stated above
