I’ve been using a piece of free software called jpegoptim for quite a while now. Last evening, I decided to try to run jpegoptim to compress _all_ of the images on involution.com. After downloading all of the images on involution.com, I issued this command.

ls *.jpg | xargs -n1 jpegoptim

The end result was that involution.com went from 86 MB to 74 MB.

Ad-Aware has a reflist update.
