Good Practice - Trophies, Avatars

Good web design practice is to resize images prior to inclusion in the page and
NOT tweek the CSS file or inline style to make them fit the desired layout.

This is a small gripe as the images are hopefully being  cached at the users browser but it still hinders the page loading speed while it resizes the image(s) on the fly.

Here's an example

128px × 128px (scaled to 40px × 40px on the page) ==  5.77 kB (5,905 bytes)
as a resized gif == 1.56kB OR  resized png == 2.12kB

sure, perhaps in the future we can get minimized versions of those.
