While that is probably true for many preview types it makes no sense from a UI
POV. There's a setting that allows the user to limit the maximum size for which
previews are generated. The intricate delicacies of performance impacts of
various file types are lost on users, all they'll see is previews generated for
files that shouldn't have them.
e.g. bug #423544
Also, I'm not sure I trust third parties with making the call on whether or not
they have to obey the rules.
To that end I propose we stop honoring IgnoreMaximumSize set in the desktop
file of the thumbnailers. It wasn't documented as a feature anyway it seems.
