Hello

1. use JPG original images

in image-gallery field configuration

2. Set lower resolution for your thumbnails (down to your acceptable point)
3. Set lower quality (down to your acceptable point)

Hello

also we have a bug (the image-gallery field is not effected)

JPG images in some views are thumbnailed as PNG which increases the size
most notably this happens for
- category images
- legacy tags / favourites views
- blog template using custom size thumbnail (try to use a fixed thumbnail of image field "small" or "medium")

this is fixed in next release
