i'm -1 on including this into a 3.x release, since it doing it right —  
imho, of course — depends on a number of 4.0 features, i.e.  
plone.transforms, blob support and asynchronous event handling.  i  
think all of these are required to avoid potential performance  
problems, both time- and memory-wise.  however, as i do like the  
feature and don't think it'd be much code[1] nor too heavy[2] i'd be  
fine with integrating this into 4.0.

cheers,

[1] it's just an integrational package after all
[2] we've got image scales as well, so using zodb blobs should be no  
problem provided the previews can be deactivated
