I suppose it could be considered business logic. Technically all the images are of the form So running the logic regardless would be just as accurate. I like your rationalization that it is explanatory though.

However in your case is it not a piece of ‘business’ logic? e.g. You only want to convert images, I could see the argument for having the method name convertImage (or some such)

I can’t count how many blog entries about which is faster…this or that…Then they show that if you do the same line of code 10 million times, one is one second faster. Who cares? If an end user won’t notice the difference, it isn’t worth changing. In my example, even if you did run that line of code 10 million times for a single request from a user, it isn’t worth changing.
