[IMC-Tech] bandwidth issues / serving images off of sacco

[kellan]

we've found that during really intense traffic surges (like we saw during
praha, and probably will again for quebec city) the additional bandwidth
consumed by serving even a few 5-10k images was a major burden.

however, broken images on the front page is a serious blow to credibility
and usability.  i think we should make sure that doesn't happen, but be
aware of how important it is to tune this stuff.
