If we've got new beefy servers, another limit to at least consider 
bumping might be the PNG scaling limit.  12.5 megapixels isn't really 
all that much.

(On a tangent... there might be some ways to reduce the overall load 
from scaling large images, at least as long as the servers can handle 
the full-size images at all without bumping into memory limits.  For 
example, there's no real need to rescale every thumbnail from the full 
image -- we might as well work from a pregenerated intermediate size 
image, as long as it's at least some suitable factor (2-4?) times larger 
than the target size to avoid noticeable aliasing.)
