No, you're not generating new images. You're just telling the browser to make them appear smaller, but the physical file size is still the same. Take a look at Tricoros linked example with 40 vs 50px. They are both linking to the same image.

With 50 kB per image we get 50*415 in total for all of them, that's over 20 MB!
