You need a tutorial in PS and Image Ready Wood. Even if the server is lightning fast and all your pics are over 100kb and you have over 500 mutliple connections you are going to cause a significant slowdown as apposed to images that are optimised.
JPG is an image compression format. True they are compressed to a level but a good graphic designer can bring their file size down even more. Which means less bandwidth usage and cost to yourself, and happier customers.
Would be intresting to see how much i can shave off one of your pics and we can do a little loading comparison. Like I say you make think 0.10 of a second is minimal but mutiply that but a factor of 1000-10000 and it becomes critical.

Dee, I think you must have the most paranoid views on bandwidth I ever heard. I bet you delete all the spaces in your HTML too?
I think if you ask any web professional if they care about bandwidth, then they'll say yes. But I bet my life on it they do not go to the extremes you mention..
time is money and no-one is going to go through every jpeg in a gallery to make sure each file has the perfect ratio of filesize/quality. There's just no point at all. Same deal with the file naming, that made me chuckle. Aslong as you are in the right ball park a byte here or there makes no difference, or no significant dent in the wallent
If woodgnome did the things you suggested he would save no money, and would waste a whole lot of time.

Leave the pic size alone, WG, they're ok just as they are and take only a few secs to load via my 56k connection. I think most us like bigs pics anyway.
I saw Tag's pics on Yahoo and was going to ask if larger images could be posted somewhere. You've saved me the trouble - thanks very much.
I don't understand all this ballyhoo about download times (see my response to Bayleaf's post re your Alicia and Corie pics). I also tried the Silvia Saint bj pic as suggested above. Loaded in about 10 secs - where's the problem?
