Thumbnails for book and author previews

[ershad]

We are currently using the scaled down version of images in thumbnails ('medium' - 300 X 300 [1][2]). Do you think we should reduce it again?

has_attached_file :image, styles: { large: "600x600>", medium: "300x300>", thumb: "100x100>" }, :default_url => "/book_cover_missing.png"

= image_tag book.covers.last.image.url(:medium), class: 'img-polaroid'

I was asking about http://dev.grandham.org/authors page.

The first image takes a few seconds to load on my broadband. I thought it was because of large image used.

Also, if 100x100 is used for thumbnails, then no problem.
