I wrote my own that does much of the same.  What's nice about creating
static content is that it can be burned to a CD, then sent off to mom or
dad.  All they have to do is open the index.html on the disc and start
browsing your images.

On the server side, once the pages and thumbs are generated, it's much
faster, naturally.

I was thinking of rewriting this though under Zend Framework.  I'd just
utilize the included caching capabilities with a very long ttl.
