Its less about dimensions and more about 'weight' of the image. Images have 2 basic size specifications. One is what you mentioned, the height x width in pixels. The other is how much space they take -- usually represented as a single number eg 5mb. The larger this number is the longer it takes a user to download the image and the more storage space it takes to save on our servers.
