Why is the quality of the  preview image in the avatar gallery so bad?

Thumbnail Preview




Original Avatar Image




First I thought all Avatars has such a poor image quality. But if you click on them the quality is much better.
isn't possible to use better thumbnails?

If I'm not mistakin, it was made that way for 2 reasons...

1. To save space, thumbnails don't usually go over 1-3KB
2. To help make the load times faster, because as I'm sure many of us know, it's like pulling teeth when you are trying to load a page full of images on a dial-up modem ;)

Besides, it's just a preview, thumbnails are meant to be clicked to see the real version :)

I see

in this case you could add a message to the bottom

"Original images are in a better quality" or something like that.
