1. do they *need* to be that large? (i mean the 
	visual proportions, not the memory consumption)
   if not, shrink 'em.

2. are they still tiffs?  if so, you will need to 
   convert them to gifs or jpgs in order to be usable
   across different platforms.  that in itself 
   will reduce the size of the files considerably.
