They both work fine with smaller photo, and quickly.
They have problems in X with 1.5MB photo probably due to running
out of memory.  Links2 may be less memory efficient than Opera.

With the 1.5MB photo xli gives error messages in BL3
X error -Bad Drawable.  Pages of this.  Links2 was set to use xli
because I had the old links.cfg file.

Try xli on a 1.5MB photo.

I was using the links.cfg for links-0.93 (95?) not links2.
