It does. People tend to upload their images straight as they come from
their camera/smartphone. And I need them as 300x200 thumbs and in an
enlarged 900x600 something format. Perhaps sharpened.

Frequently not something the developer can decide.

They lookup and/or rescaling happens, when an image is displayed. Not
before. You do the rescaling when it is required, and then you do it
only once. IOW the one-time-storing and the frequent checking for file
existence replaces the frequent on-the-fly resizing. No way, that the
latter one is faster (I do websites which are visited by more than one
person - hopefully).
