Administrative speedup

W, from the much-missed Maggothammer weblog, pointed out in comments yesterday that he wasn't able to see any of the images on TSFR since I'd put in some referrer checking flags; when I took those flags out, he remarked that TSFR was back to the traditional load-everything-but-really-slowly behavior it used to have.

Really slowly? That seemed funny, so I did a little bit of poking around, and realized, to my horror, that none of the jpeg images here were optimized, and that if I optimized them they got, um, a lot smaller (some of the "tiny" webpages images were 80k, and when optimized they dropped down to *cough* 12k *cough*.)

And I thought it was just my shitty Amish dial-up and its hand-carved wooden megabytes.

Oh, but that's fine workmanship you're talking about there; you're not using boring old factory-produced bits, but authentic heirloom bits that will be suitable for passing down to your children!

Don't know what unsettles me more: the idea of me with heirlooms to pass along, or children to pass them to...
