Yeah, not that easy for us unfortunately. We have a rather elaborate CMS system, and making those changes requires change control and an editor's input and a senior editors buyoff. When you pull about 1.2gb on the 95th percentile for bandwidth though those couple images are usually inconsequential. Not like a site like Ryan's sees that much traffic to cause much pain
. It's more the ethics of the matter for me.... until it causes me pain
I only usually worry about the top 25. But then I see 20+ mil pageviews a day too.
