Bob's suggestion sounds like a good part of the solution.

I use the code below (most of which I learned from
PLUG friends) to bulk resize images before uploading
them and that makes images load faster.

# mkall1000 - resize all photos to 1000 pixel width

mkdir 1000
find -type f -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -r -0 -ixxx convert -resize 1000
-quality 80% xxx ./1000/xxx

BTW: I have never understood why people keep and use 5-meg images (or
even 1-meg images) when 200-K images look the same on 99% of monitors.
