 * Is there a way to optimize the image resizing so that the displayed grid images
   aren’t blurry?

 * not sure what you mean.. You could change the image size used for the grid with
   the [image_size](http://bdwm.be/rgg/shortcode-parameters/#image_size) parameter(
   it will be deprecated in next version, but it will keep working).
 * possible values are: thumbnail, medium, large and full.
    You can also define 
   any other image size in your functions.php file with [add_image_size()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size)

 * I mean the image as displayed does not look as sharp as if I resized it myself.
   I’ve tried specifying size (including custom sizes), maxrowheight, no matter.
   It seems resizing is happening in HTML, which isn’t always optimum. I like the
   plugin overall, but having my images appear sharp when they display at any size
   is kind of important for my photography blog.

 * Hi, what you are asking is not possible with this plugin. Because the plugin 
   is responsive, the images must be scaled client side. You are asking for a server-
   side scaling of the images. Something like this would be possible trough asynchronous
   calls, but it will be very slow, since for every size a new image would have 
   to be generated and downloaded to the client. Apart from that it will put a huge
   strain on your server, because of all the images that would have to be saved 
   to the server (using caching), or cause a huge load on your server’s processor
   and RAM.
 * I agree, for your case it would be useful to have the images resized on the server,
   because your website has a fixed width. But this plugin is not right for that,
   and never will be. I might write a different plugin that does this in the future
   though, but I have no concrete plans to do so for the moment.
 * By the way: most modern browsers do a really great job re-sampling images nowadays.
   All your images look very clean and sharp over here. I checked in IE10 and the
   latest versions of Chrome and Firefox.

 * Thanks. Maybe I’m over-thinking it.
