Subject: [PATCH] Optimize latency and enable immediate image generation on
 load
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Performance improvements:
- Reduced throttle time from 64ms to 32ms (2x faster updates)
- Reduced timeout from 5000ms to 3000ms (faster retries)
- Reduced JPEG quality from 0.5 to 0.3 (faster encoding/upload)
- Added automatic image generation trigger on page load (100ms + 500ms)

This enables real-time sketch-to-image generation to start immediately
when the page loads, with ~50% faster response to drawing changes.
