This setting allows you to change the size of thumbnails and it applies to both online and offline media.

Most users seem to prefer a larger thumbnail size.
This setting applies to online media only. Selecting a larger size will result in more bandwidth usage for the initial load (all images are cached after the initial load). Depending on your internet connection speed, the initial load time may be longer for larger images.
The only advantage of selecting a larger image is that, when zooming a photo, you can see more details.
