Gallery Sizes

[Trax]

What should the max for a normal picture gallery be when it comes to its size

That includes
- Thumbs
- HTML
- Design Images

NO full sized pictures counted in

hahahaha=> What should the max size of all three be?

I have galleries being 234KB big and I wonder if thats not a little bit tooo much?

Any comments welcome.

230k is a bit big.. maybe you can reduce it ! It will cost you more BW !

its not about the BW
its about loading times for the average joe surfer

on average my pics are 45K each x 16 then 16 thumbs at 8k, then a light logo and shit an extra 15k

i couldnt make a gallery under 250k

also bare in mind if under 30k a pic you wont get accepted with alot of scripts
