Hi David,

Cool! I didn't know that tool.
I'm going to try.

Hi, Lionel

Besides any other optimizations, for a really quick and remorseless fix, you can run your images through Trimage, http://trimage.org/ , which uses some lossless compression libraries and seems to work nicely with your png resources (see attachment for an admittedly too small sample of results from your files, with impossible recursion added for fun).
 
Best regards,

David Rodriguez.
