Best way I've found is to slice larger areas containing few colors and save as gif or png with as low a palette size as is tolerable. Then the busy photographic areas such as faces save as jpg. You have to be careful with color matching, but this can drasticly reduce the size of a page.
On a normal size page fitted to 800x600 resolution, I wouldn't have more than about 60 slices for the graphics above the fold. But it really depends on page composition. Also many image slicers use a lot of unnecessary HTML tags, you can reduce the size of the sliced image futher by editing out all superfluous HTML.
