Agreed, but an actual solution (replace the Atom BE)
that would also address things like slow scheduling
was rejected by the OP.  To each their own.

Perhaps my memory is slipping, but I believe the
FE preview images are also generated "on demand",
and preview images can be generated in on-demand
sizes, so you would have to limit to a reasonable
subset of sizes.

You can probably create a system event handler
to generate some limited subset of images, if you
like.
