I actually think 20kb for an avatar is good. As for practical arguments, it makes it a lot easier to make decent avatars for one. I don't change mine all that much but when I did I always had to dial back the image quality to almost nothing to barely be able to save it under 8kb. The more detailed the picture the sooner you'll run into that problem.
It's a luxury problem if anything else, but an annoying one and OWF has the lowest avatar size limit of all the forums I go to. I'm 99% sure this isn't a storage space issue on your server, nor could it be a bandwidth issue so that begs the question; why are you so attached to a file size limit as low as possible?
