"Load full-size images at once" is confusing

As a new user, I was confused why random pictures were not shown in my timeline after I had disabled "Load full-size images at once". It doesn't suggest that images without thumbnails won't be shown at all, not even its description: "Automatically download a full-size image instead of a thumbnail".
I think it would be better to call it "Show only thumbnails" with the following description: "Save bandwidth. Beware: images without thumbnails won't be shown automatically.". It describes better what it actually does.
Going forward, a menu item called "Only show images smaller than" with "{100..200..400} KB" radio buttons in its submenu would be even better. It wouldn't matter that it has a thumbnail or not if it was under the limit. This is the most rational.
What do you think?
Sorry for not responding earlier to this. Indeed, the description is misleading; and yes, a bandwidth-saver approach sounds right here.
