Can anyone explain or have a solution?
Here's my take -- gif's are no longer supported by the GD library
because of patent problems. So development of how to deal with them has
been moved to png.
Gif's have a 256 color palette, but PNG has a 48-bit color palette and
using imagecreatetruecolor() you greatly increase the file size of the
image .
A better choice for your code would be to use imagecreate() which has a
maximum of 256 color palette.
Please post if this works or not.

I tried that early on and the image quality went to hell.
What I ended up doing was process the gif and check it's filesize. If too large, I then made the file a jgp, from the
same GD image canvas. I then compressed the results in 5% "Quality" steps until the filesize is below a preset value.
