 In many cases, I saw the resized and smaller images are much larger than
 the origin image, especially for the optimized images, it will make no
 sense to do that resize in this case, the worst case I've seen is about
 13x larger than the origin and bigger image.

 If an example can help to explain the problem, please take this picture:
