As far as bandwidth is concerned you have allot of options. Images tend to take up a large bulk of bandwidth. Here are some strategies we have looked into during the development of legacy of warriors:
Image compression
You can adjust the compression of jpegs, and if your images fit within the 256color range you can make them 8 bit pngs, have a look online for jpegtran, pngcrush and pngquant.
Cache control
Make sure the images are being cached in the browser so that users aren’t downloading them every time they visit a page.
CSS Sprites
You can combine multiple images into one and use background-position to get the individual images out. This reduces number of requests and can help with compression if the images have any similarities.
