That's still too big!  I try to keep thumbnails under 5Kb, usually 1 to
2Kb.  My connection's pretty slow... Larger images should be under 10Kb,
and I try to keep full size images (640x480+) between 20 and 50Kb.

While using h and w tags does not actually speed up loading, it give
the  *appearance* of faster loading because the browser can render the
layout before it has fetched all the images. the h and w tags tell it
how much space to set aside for each image.

Which saves time even if it isn't loading faster because the visitor can
read the text while the images load.
