I'm not as much for this solution

Say your images are or high quality/resolution, even if the browser window
is small, the amount of data sent is the same, still many in US seems to use
modems, no gain for them of having a small resolution.

Say your images are of low quality/resolution, when your browser window is
big, the images are scaled up and looking really crappy.

In this case I would rather have two different setups of images, yes it's more
work, but you make things look okey and you get more speed when getting to
"low quality" version of the site.
