The new the_post_thumbnail function in WP pulls the thumbnail size from existing images that are already files. So, especially for my client's site where server load is going to be of great importance. Exactly.

When it displays the home page or an archive page, it makes a call to a 3rd party script, thumb.php, to generate the thumbnails on-the-fly. I'm sure this method has an impact on the server's CPU since the thumbnails are always generated dynamically.
