How would this work, what savings does it create?
My gallery seems awful slow as of late, not sure if the database is just big or what, it is only 1.7MB, so that cant be it...

the code posted is meant as hotlink protection, there are already some postings in the mods section that discuss this in more detail - it won't speed up your site though. If you have troubles with speed/performance, you should post a link to your site, so we can take a look and tell you what is probably consuming most resources on load.
