As of now, the full body images are edited and setup outside of the platform. As far as localized tokens I agree. The only other thing I can image is that some users may use large images beyond the recommended dimensions and formatting, which can effect performance. However, this can also be a thing on the host's side too. I had players try to use an image that was over 1000x800 and not "square", etc. But, to each their own. It's just not as clear or as obvious initially without a trip to the FG Atlassian guide, or learning the hard way. But a localized collection might be better.

Is it practical to automatically rescale non-conforming images? I honestly have no idea what it would entail on the coding side, but having a campaign option to limit player-provided image size to 200x200, 500x500, or no limit (or whatever numbers make sense) might also be a way to avoid the problem of performance hits.

I don't think there is a way to limit or block a given file size from within Fantasy Grounds, especially when most images are sourced outside of Fantasy Grounds. The de facto number for Portraits was around 100. I used 256x256 so that outside of FG the thumbnails were still large enough to see. Fantasy Grounds does try to scale the portrait and token images to be visible within the Fantasy Grounds VTT platform, but the memory is still held in RAM, unless one physically resizes the initial image size. The other issue is too many images to select from. The thumbnail previews often have to index and rebuild upon opening a given subfolder with Fantasy Grounds, depending on how that function has been setup and written. Limiting a file size or dimensions is likely not achievable through programming logic within Fantasy Grounds. Generally features are turned on or off with no in between.
