or something like that.
ie 20% less dimensions normally gives 35% less filesize.
I guess that there must be a point at which this stops working, but I've yet to take the time to do the research

Because you reduce the size of the image in 2 dimensions. This is why I post all my animations at 12x12 pixels.

when it comes to the number of colours, reduce them down until it looks shite, and increase the lossiness until it suffers.

when it gets into the evening, when many more of us are on dial-ups, it becomes more important to keep the file size down.
(I used my mobile phone as a modem at home, and pay by the Mb, so I get livid at big pictures, but that's just me. And if they are over 200k, generally it means they'll be 600k)

For animations, I reckon about 180 is usually sufficient, unless you've got lots of text. You can usually get away with 32 or 64 colours. Dithering will increase the file size but can sometimes make images look better, particularly if you're using fewer colours. If you're using ImageReady use the 2-up display which shows the optimized anim next to the original.
