It's a valid question, Lena. The majority of forums have 100*100. I appreciate that an avatar is allowed, but the fact that it is so restrictive kind of relegates its usefulness to a token move.
The only thing that 100*100 might affect is that double height could lengthen posts made without a signature.
How many people do you know that don't have a signature?
It seems very much like 48*48 is an arbitrary number plucked from the air without any experimentation with what's within the bounds of suitability.
And the 3kb file size is shockingly small. Most pics seem to have a minimum size of around 3kb regardless of image data - 10kb is much more reasonable if the aim is bandwidth limitation.
