Forum:Reducing image sizes?

Right, so I was thinking. After I had came on the Wiki with my phone, which caps out at a perfectly reasonable 300kbps, I noticed all of the pages took forever to load. I tried the main page, and the data loaded from it came to over a megabyte. A lot of that is images, so I propose that we run all the new images (and some of the old ones) through an OptiPNG filter.

For instance; compare the following.



The optimized image has a size reduction of 32%, bringing it down to under a megabyte, and in all honesty I really dont see any difference between the picture as far as quality goes. Just posting it up for opinions.
