Comment (by johnwatkins0):

 I've been working on this. I agree it's a useful idea. I've seen and
 created plenty of workarounds for the fact that filesize data isn't
 already saved with images. It's especially tricky where files are stored
 remotely.

 The only question I have is whether we think it would useful to have the
 file size for all intermediate image sizes as well as the full-sized
 image, or just for the full-sized image?

 I think it makes size to store all of them, since the most of the main
 reasons for having this data involve comparing filesizes -- e.g., when
 looping through images to find the largest one under a limit.

 The drawbacks to storing all are (1) more filesize calls at the time an
 image is uploaded, and (2) inflated metadata.

 I'm going ahead with the assumption that we want all sizes.
