You can do that when you have such a light load. Get a real load and
you're in trouble.

But even with that, you should be resizing offline and not requiring the
server to do it.

But it sounds like you're too cheap to get your developers decent
machines, and have no idea how to scale images. The "nearest bigger
scaled image" will almost certainly give a substandard image, especially
when you repeatedly rescale them.
