165kb isn't too bad for mine. Animated profile images are cool, and all, but you're right: they are a beast for mobile data. A 50MB image costs ~$0.05 to download. Multiply that by repeat downloads and multiple people doing that, and your data plan is shot.

Most people have between 1GB and 2 GB of disk space available for amethyst. If the cache is full, Amethyst will be downloading the 50MB image every time you see a post from the user. If the app goes to the background and back and there is no disk space, it downloads again. So, costs multiply by a LOT with regular use.
