Or, we could have one dedicated server for long-running jobs. Pre-generate the "usual" thumbnail sizes for each large image. Maybe generate smaller thumbnails from larger ones, or multiple in one go, so it won't have to load a large image 10 times for 10 thumbnails. Not sure what to do for "unusual" sizes, though. Could be a DOS attac vector.
Add 'em to the job queue in question.
