If you're using ImageReadythere are a couple of additional tricks that sometimes make a huge difference. Not all of them work all of the time, but they're all worth trying.
If your image does NOT contain any transparency, try toggling transparency on/off
Sometimes, reducing colours by just 1 or 2 can suddenly drop 15kb from an image, so always try stepping down a few colours one at a time
Try adding a tiny amount of lossy compression - a setting of just 1 or 2 can sometimes make a huge difference to filesize without any noticable difference in quality
Obviously you can try reducing diffusion or using a different diffusion method BUT if you absolutely have to have lots of diffusion, try stepping down from 100% to 99%... odd though this is, it sometimes drops as much as 30 or 40kb
