Now that we've got uploads running on our new, beefier file servers,
I've experimentally bumped the upload limit from 20 to 100 megabytes.
If we've got new beefy servers, another limit to at least consider
bumping might be the PNG scaling limit. 12.5 megapixels isn't really
all that much.
(On a tangent... there might be some ways to reduce the overall load
from scaling large images, at least as long as the servers can handle
the full-size images at all without bumping into memory limits. For
example, there's no real need to rescale every thumbnail from the full
image -- we might as well work from a pregenerated intermediate size
image, as long as it's at least some suitable factor (2-4?) times larger
than the target size to avoid noticeable aliasing.)
