Hi,
I know how to check the archives, but I'm not sure if this would even be
there. What I am really curious about is why it was decided to go with
using ImageMagick to resize images, rather than just changing the width
attribute of the image?
Without knowing when or where this was decided, I am fairly certain
that it is because of size. Setting the html size attribute would
still require you to download the full X megabytes of the picture,
while a thumb only takes several kilobytes.

Thanks,
