When you say images, specifically "photos" and thumbnails of them?

It really depends on how many colours the images have, and the complexity of the image. I certainly don't think there is any kind of "filesize limit" that should be implied.

Getting the smallest image size possible without sacrificing quality can be an important issue for higher traffic sites...

I don't think this "minimum 8KB packet" statement is true but someone can correct me if so. AFAIK that's the maximum packet size
