If you haven/t consulted the Gif Wizard be sure to head their asap, and bring all your oversized gifs with. http://www.raspberryhill.com/gifwizard.html It's an online only (no local version yet) gif processer which can drastically reduce gif size, especially good at cleaning up repeated images in 89 animations. I ran several of our larger files (fr: www.dreamwv.com) thru there and knocked 20-30% off a couple gif anims. Doesn't do a whole lot for static gifs that you've already worked to reduce, but does have a secondary level of processing that offers you a page of versions of your gifs, from full-size full-color palette, in steps, down to a smallK 4-color palette with the file size listed next to each step--all on one page so you can do the K vs. colors tradeoff right there. Doesn't process jpegs (yet, they say). And, again, it's online only-- but you can offer up a gif to be processed from eith a url or from your computer's local files. Then just "Save As..." the version you want.
