Maybe have a fast mode where images are transcoded?

    Seems like we'd want some sort of user-specific settings panel to track whether users want the full-size image or something in-between full and thumbnail.

    Maybe it could default to showing a lower-res version of the image and either have a button to view the full image for the people that want it rather than storing additional state

    What exactly is the problem here? Loading directories or individual files?

    Directories already only display 128px thumbnails, so loading times can't be accelerated much there.

    For file viewing, we could have something of a "staging" filesize, some middleground betw thumbnail and full-size, something like a max width of 1000, maybe, with a link/button to open the full-size file. That said, it would require three files in S3 for each (~30,000) file on Gallery.

    The problem here is definitely individual files, not directories. Would trans-coding on-the-fly affect API response time that much?
