That's 500x500, I'm sure you can get good results at 32x32 or 64x64 but then part of your color choice is also getting done by the downsampling algorithm. I wonder if you could get away with just using a downsampling algorithm into a 1x1 and just use that as the main color.

My point is the conclusion can't be made from the article.

But AWS beat the laptop? And there's no cost to performance analysis? Yes AWS is overpriced but how do you make that conclusion from this specific article? Because network disks were slower than SSDs? AWS also has SSD instances with local storage.
