Description

Doing a little firefox "save page as" experiment I saved the discover page and converted the thumbnails to GIF (via imageMagick) and it reduces the overall page footprint nearly 28% (down to 2M from 2.8M) with little or no loss of quality.

Since you are already generating the 75x75 jpg thumbnails at upload, it should be easy enough to also generate a 75x75 gif thumbnail and at least test it.

Between discover and zipline a 25%+ decrease in bandwidth can't be a bad thing, if not for your bandwidth expenses for zooomr user usability and performance.
