Why not leave the ability to upload an icon from the edit icons page (where it creates little additional overhead), but add a "quick upload icon" page that only has that feature? That is, when editing your icons you may upload; but provide a way to upload without having to view/edit?
Or, heck, add a "view existing icons/keywords" AJAXy thing to the "upload a new icon" page - so that at least the user controls whether it loads them. Heck, if we wanted to, make one option that shows the keywords and descriptions and comments *without* the images, and one with. People with low bandwidth could view keywords, descriptions, and comments to remember what they had without the bandwidth hit....
