I've never seen JavaScript's ability to work with image resizing
and such. Are you suggesting using it instead to say, "that file is
too big," before it's uploaded? If that's the case, it may not work
in Dave's situation, since he expects large files already, and
therefore has the resizing script(s) in place.
If I'm not totally off-point, I think the memory issue is more of
GD/Imagemagick being a resource hog than the actual file size, since
he pointed out that a megapixel image is sometimes still only 200K.
