It depends on what is meant by "image". png and jpeg have vastly different compression characteristics. Using jpeg where appropriate can save someone on dialup a tremendous amount of time. However, many of the images we create as SVG are going to be the kind that store well as png...
Sure, but often images are converted to 24bit png even when that is not needed. I suggest (if not already done) using ImageMagick and a recipe like: convert -quality 0 +dither -colors 256 infile.png out.png whenever possible to maximize the gains of compression HTH Gianluca
