If you want to save downloading time for the page-viewer, then that is the
best way to do it. Some people use the 'width' attribute to show a thumbnailed
image, but it still downloads the full image and scales it down to match the
width.
So if you want to have a lot of pictures on one page, the 'width' attribute of
the IMG tag works fine but AFAIK it doesn't save on downloading time.
