As one our our developers thinks it is pointless to reduce images or static resources if they come below a specific file size. As I could not directly find a good reaction I thought lets are you guys your findings about this topic:

So it there a waypoint in filesize of images to not being concerned about reducing its size anymore?

It had something to do with the minimum packet size send over the net? So that made a bit of sense as if a packet size is always minimum 8kb reducing the image to 2kb will still send an 8kb packet. This is just my logical thinking not reflecting the reality i would like to verify with you.

thanks,
Bastiaan
