The more different userpics someone's using, the more they cost, because it means less chance that a given userpic (that a user is using) is cached in the browser, more data transfered when someone goes to look at the allpics page, more data transfered when someone goes to the userpic selector, etc.
I've always wondered why LJ didn't allow extra userpics in the same way that it allows extra mood themes, by letting people host the images off-site. Is it to avoid support having to deal with hotlinking issues, to avoid people being able to host offensive images where LJ can't reach them, or what?
