In order for the larger image to be seen it means that the smaller image must contain enough pixels so that it looks good when enlarged. This means that the file size is based on the larger image size, and necessarily longer download time. If there are many images placed on the same page, it will then take a longer time to download for the user just to see all of the small images to select which one for viewing. The suggested method for a page author to use would be the construction of small files for a thumbnail image file, and then a link or mouseover function which takes you to the larger (more dense) image file for good viewing. Simply expanding the onscreen size means either larger downloads, or diminished quality. Using this method the larger file is only downloaded if the viewer actually wants to see a specific one.
