For example, I'm running three instances on a server with 10 GB of disk

Therefore, this should be an option in LocalSettings.php rather than a
global change; that way, the installations which are CPU-constrained
rather than disk-constrained can use other solutions, from user
education to Squid.
Yeah, I think it should probably an option (we could debate the default
later). Besides the obvious bandwidth issue, some browsers may do worse
scaling then MediaWiki's library (imagemagick I believe). Of course,
others might be better.
