Uh, just to clarify you mean >1meg right?

I agree with you. It doesn't seem to me that there are many nodes accepting 
blocks >1meg anyway. If you are combinning it into a container only to break 
it up into chunks I don't see the gain.

However this could be implemented at the application level by combining all 
the SMALL images (aside from the sites thumbnail) into one file. But leave 
the HTML alone this way each page is still independently referenceable and 
unnecessary redundancy is eliminated. 

A trick that might be nice would be to to try to get all the small images to 
combine to a nice even size. That way you pad less.

Also, your comment about size and low bandwith users got me thinking: Is their 
some way to have nodes bias the size of the data they store biased on their 
available banwidth. And if so how could routing, load distribution, and 
utilization of low bandwith nodes be improved biased on this?

Anyway that is the start of a whole new thread, so I'll post it to tech@ once 
I think it through a little more.
