All are exported the same and intented for web display, but some viewers
print a few so there is an option to dl the full-high-resolution image. 
If the quality of the output is the same regardless of "do high quality
resampling during export", and that option slows export, I should not
select that option.

I guess this is the answer I need.  I output to max size/resolution and do
reductions for display automagically when adding to web albums.  So, I
should not select "do high q....", iiuc.
