Perhaps generate the standard thumbnail sizes at upload time
I believe the status quo is no thumbs (of any size) are generated at upload time. They are all just done on demand.
That's correct in theory. In practice (for uploads using Special:Upload at least) the user is redirected to the file description page after a successful upload, which contains a thumb of the file of a given size (800px?), which is then immediately generated on demand :) . Special:UploadWizard has similar behavior: the success page contains 200px(?) thumbs of all the images the user uploaded.
