The stats that would be hit the most obviously would be bandwidth, followed by RAM.

Storage requirements would change of course, but bandwidth would be absorbed by whatever CDN they're using, so traffic quantity stat would be different.

Also, with images/videos, they're now sending more URLs/embeds/etc. along with data, so more characters = more RAM for caching and/or serving up on web servers. In theory, shouldn't be much more of a hit.
