Sitewards ImportImageMemoryLeakFix
==================================

[](#sitewards-importimagememoryleakfix)

Issue
-----

[](#issue)

Product import with images easily goes over 4Gb on memory with just couple hundreds of products. The reason for this is that the image model is never properly destoried.

Fix
---

[](#fix)

Use a different image processor than `Varien_Image`. Add a `destruct` method into this new processor and register it on shutdown. Rewrite `Mage_Catalog_Helper_Image` to change the method `validateUploadFile`. Call new processor, call destruct and then return the mime type of the image.
