From less than 700kb in size to more than 8 megs for only double the resolution ? That's why wikipedia feel sluggish sometimes. Why even changing it to a worse file format ? What's the points ?

The resolution is actually quadrupled by doubling the value of both axes. In this case going from 1500x1424 (2.1MP) to 3504x3327 (11.7MP) multiplies the total number of pixels by 5.4
With the same level of jpeg compression you'd expect it to jump from 700KB to roughly 4MB. Since both images are the same file format, the rest of the file size difference is likely attributable to less jpeg compression being used in the larger image.

Images on articles are resized. The original size of the image has no bearing on how fast the article loads.
All the edit actually did is brighten the image. My guess is they used a sooty image editor.
It's also the same file format.
8MB is too much for web. 1MB is the upper limit of what i consider ok.
but what if someone wants to see a picture of someone holding a selfie stick in 4k?
Yeah, but the article itself uses a downsized version of the image. Actually being able to see a lot more detail when opening the full size one is nice.
it would be so funny if the larger image had malware in it..
Is nobody going to talk about the file name, the first reason I posted this?
You are pretty, OP
