 Replying to [comment:2 endolith]:
 > Thumbnail and medium size image creation should not be done on upload at
 all.  They should be created only when called for, so that they always
 reflect the size settings in Miscellaneous.

 -1. Highly disagree. This would add a ton of CPU time, as the image would
 need to be resized on every call to it, basically. Either that or it
 leaves tons of old files lying around every time you change the image
 sizes.

 Furthermore, I don't think that changing a setting somewhere should
 instantly change the content/size of all the images in all your old posts.
