Patrick Mueller commented on CB-1495:
-------------------------------------
I agree with Jesse's comments on the m/l. Gradients. KILL.
Or ... I just tried using Acorn to save as a JPG (do they support JPEG?). At
80% quality, compressed to 134KB. Looked pretty good to me!
If they don't support JPEG, I wonder if switching from a 24-bit to 8-bit PNG
would help. Looks like I can get that down to about 240KB, but ... artifact-y.
I'd vote to just kill the gradients. Next point release (not 2.2).
