Oh, right, I forgot about that (checked it yesterday and thought in
relation to the 3.7TB it was negligible...).
That directory contains multiresolution images generated from very
large images on commons for the zoomviewer [1].
Generating them takes up to more than a minute each, and many of them
actually had to be generated on an external server (as the process
uses a lot of memory for a short time and is frequently killed by
slayerd). Deleting them is not really an option (well it is, but it
would mean discontinuing the service).
