Create the thumbnails when you upload the images or use a script outside
ic to do it periodically. Or both. Keep image sizes in your database
so your can render image tags correctly. I don't think Mike meant
converting image sizes on the fly while you are serving pages to
shoppers; there is no question that would be slower. On the fly in
admin is not bad though.
