Q: Will uploading images at a high rate impact my network/Internet connection performance? Answer: This depends on the size, quality, and frequency of images you are uploading, as well as your Internet connection type/speed, and other Internet traffic. An easy rule-of-thumb is to assume 9 Kbytes per image for a medium-resolution 320x240 black-and-white image. If you upload such an image every 5 seconds, that equates to approximately 20 kilobits of bandwidth. If you have a DSL connection (perhaps 300 Kbits/second), this equates to 7% of your available bandwidth.
