[pmwiki-users] Recommendations for skin compression

1. Consider optimizing the CSS code of the skins. I used "Flumpcakes" on 
the latest Lean skin and got an almost 40% reduction of code size, while 
still remaining readable. There are other CSS compressors out there, 
with varying options and code readability (I did find a command line 
tool while posting this email).

2. I put together a collection of ideas for optimizing the Internet. I 
did test out my suggestion on replacing GIFs with PNGs on PMWiki's 
graphics, but the GIFs are already smaller than even optimized PNGs 
(this applies to anything less than 3K it seems).
