Please... Having a page with a bunch of images uploaded by users in
various (normally large) sizes the scaling on the fly takes the
proverbial ages (i.e. several seconds). Particularly on shared hosts.
Checking for the existence of a file (you know the output size and you
changed the file name of you rescaled images accordingly) is negligible.
Rescaling happens once, retrieving thousands of times (or more).

Indeed.

No it doesnt.

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

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).

People need to be educated not to do that. High-resolution images with huge
dimensions result in large files. There is already a limitation in the
upload file size (upload_max_filesize), and that is good so. You can make
allowances and do not have to stick to the default 2M maximum, but allowing
people to upload files of *any* size to a server is virtual(ly) suicide. So
that is not a very convincing argument in favor of 64-bit processing.

It has been said that socialists know how the world should be, but

NOT necessarily...
But they tend to restrict themselves to what is achievable, and expect
that it wont be cost free!

I try to. As far as filesize restrictions are concerned: 12 megapixels
from low-quality devices are frequently "small enough".
