Slows down site

The plugin slows down site (admin area) when you choose a default avatar. Causes high CPU and physical memory usage. I wouldn’t recommend as it caused me pain.

by Dennis Bareis

Just doesn’t work unless you like 1×1 images

At least on up to date untested version of WordPress & PHP. It doesn’t resize the original image but uses HTML to so, so you better start with a small image! In my case my avatar became a dot as it
