I was looking at the page sizes, and noticed that the
wikipedia.icohttp://bits.wikimedia.org/favicon/wikipedia.ico file
is 15KB, which is about 14% of the average m. page size. Unfortunatelly,
this download is not reported by either firefox or chrome dev tools due to
know
IIRC they were recently bumped to improve appearance on high-density
displays etc (hence the 32x32 and 64x64 sizes) yes. If we can reduce the
file size without dumping the larger sizes that'd be nice.
Not sure how badly we really need the 32x32 if we have 64x64, that's
true

FYI, a good ICO optimization article from 2 years ago:

Brion, it showed up in my history tab - I don't know when that got
populated, but i am guessing at the same time as i went to the site,
because otherwise it wouldn't have shown
Instead of guessing, let's find out -- it should be easy enough to wipe
browser state and test while connected through a computer running
WireShark. :)
The server's probably not configured to gzip .ico files by default, so
that's not a huge surprise, but would likely be an easy configuration
