It makes sense that it would. If the images are resized on the server there's less data to stream to the 770, to cache, to decode from JPG to bitmaps and, most importantly, less data that the browser has to hold in memory, internally resize and render. Should be a big win.

Funny you should mention this... Last night's 6.5 nightly build includes dynamic resizing of thumbnail images. Currently it's only working on OSX and Linux servers (Dan needs to rebuild a library for windows), but it seems to be much friendlier to the 770. The other limitation is that it doesn't cache the resized images on the server, so they are recalcuated each time they are requested. This will be added later.
