You are at the mercy of the response time of the remote sites here IMO, not the function.

Let me clarify that. Those 26 images are external to my site. So in both cases the program has to go and get them, from wherever they are stored. The time to show the page with those 26 images without the image size check is 1.8 sec. The time to show the same images with the image size check is 30 sec. some times even more.
