Ashley mentioned doing this; it's quite easy. Previewmaker gets its max 
preview size from the ids.config. Just to try this I made a copy of both, 
adding -512 to the names, removing most config items from the 
ids-512.config file and of course changing "previewMaxDimension" to 512.

This works fine. I think it's just as easy though to modify the loop in a 
copy of previewmaker (the one that runs at 3:00 am) to do both image sizes 
at the same time. Maybe Ashley already has this handy.

BTW, the site he mentioned is very fast; I think my problem is the platform 
I'm using. It cost almost nothing and new machines are cheap these days, so 
I'll try a faster server before "mucking about" further.  :-)
