One of the problems is that GIFs with large numbers of frames require very
large amounts of memory to thumbnail under the current process.
For example this simple 400 KB image with 370 frames:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/Translational_motion.gif
Requires >85 MB to thumbnail.
For items like that, where the full file size is actually very small, we should
probably just send the whole image to the browser and let the browser handle it
as is.
