This discussion is about how to improve the usability of the website. Looking forward to a print edition the 2mb limit makes sense, but these very large images ought not to make it difficult for the less advantaged to use the website. Some way needs to be found to not impose them on users whose equipment is unable to handle them.
The thumbnails in articles are usually much smaller - JPEGs, a few tens of kilobytes; the sort of size that's fine on dialup (or was when dialup was all there was).
