The image search is now much faster for large images, in newer browsers.

Previously, if you wanted to search for a 5mb image, you either had to upload the entire image, or thumbnail the image by hand. Now, if your browser supports it, the image will be thumbnailed automatically before uploading. Submit a 5mb image in http://oreno.imouto.org/post/similar, and it'll send a small thumbnail to be searched instead of the whole image (around 100k).

Currently, the only browser I've tested that can do this is Chrome 8. FF4 snapshots probably can too, but I havn't tried it yet.

Note that this won't work well with excessively large images, since browsers aren't too good at those. I can search for a 10000x7000 image once before it stops working. If this happens, it'll just upload the whole file as before. It seems to work fine for typical 300DPI images.
