Everything is relative in this life . That depends on attachments count and CPU/IO load. If you have no attachments at all, you'll have nothing with this mod.

But nobody prohibit you to try and compare if server load changes . At least, direct linked thumbnails will be loaded faster for your users.

In apache httpd.conf, I know you can use:

AddType image/jpeg .thumb

Yes. Exactly. But in fact that's not required. My rule is simple: the less customisations - the less possible mistakes in the future . You can always add it later, if something goes wrong.
