It has nothing to do with dialup. It has to do with screen resolution widths. Some people have worse resolution. Something above 500px hurts the friends page of people on 800x600 computers. You might not care about people with these old computers, but if you hurt their friends page view in their browser too much, then they will drop you. I had to figure this out when I made a graphic meme that gets viewed in friends pages.
