Well, you got me there. No. Not exhaustive tests. I can notice a
difference. Maybe not much of one but it's there. Plus, doesn't PHP
have to load the entire image (or at least some of it) before it
streams it to the browser? In other words, wouldn't there be more
memory requirements vs serving it out directly?

Mostly planning. I usually load a server up pretty heavy...as in, it
has to do a lot of work...CPU intensive so every little bit helps.
