I have just been playing with Firefox Firebug and the Page Speed addon and traced part of the slow page speed problem down to PNG thumbnails are reduced in size BUT the file size is relatively high.
Code:

CodeIgniter CI2 Common setting:

Any suggestions apart from converting all my ONLINE PNG files to JPGs?
