Thank you, this helps a lot

I have mine at 50kb, and most things load, but I do get some images that don’t. Just play with it and increase it until the frequency you need to tap pictures to render them doesn’t piss you off anymore.

Thank you.

Thanks kind stranger, I didn’t realize this was configurable.
