Title: Faster preview loading for GameStateLoad

On the game load screen, the full images for avatars are loaded and then cropped. This is noticeably slow (game "freezes" for about 3-4 seconds) on systems with weaker I/O speeds (like my netbook's 5400rpm hard drive). Instead, we should use pre-cropped versions for the load screen.
