Fewer colors (for GIF/PNG) Lower quality/resolution (for JPEG) If you can chop the image file size down, even a little, it may help some. Maybe consider posting your image generation code -- Frequently there's a faster way to do something on that for incredible performance boost. Though, again, I would assume you've already been over this with a fine-tooth comb... Still, you never know. If the information page is a lot of text, maybe gzip it, if you can specify the browser at a level that will support zipped content. This will only matter if there's a fair amount of text there... gzipping the images probably won't help. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
