Not that bad, really.  In our software, we use JPEG to compress 10mb images
into about 128K.  Assuming that we could use JPEG (or something similar) in
the moo, and force the client to uncompress the image for display (thus
reducing the net-bandwidth required), an image for an object might reasonably
take up no more room than a decent long-winded description.
