It's a lot to try and digest, but it's also a good habit to get into - turning OFF all commands (even if we know that FR will turn them off for us if we don't) :)
I wish I could impress on everyone to put the width and height in their graphics, but that is a lost cause. It's particularly important if it's a large graphic and we're opening it for the first time and trying to read other comments below it.
I don't think that people with DSL know what I'm talking about because their graphics open faster than those using modems and probably open so fast it doesn't affect comments posted after it. Sigh. :(
I had no idea that it made the graphic easier to open when height was written in..and I was on dial up for several months last year when I came back home to stay after a very long visit at my daughter’s.
My computer was from the dark ages here so it made it doubly difficult. Military Monday was almost impossible for me to load..pookie’s toons were impossible. I keep my graphics below 70 now that you gave me that great link

No size in picture reduction..just bytes reduced in both.
No luck with reducing animated graphics at either site..
