Even higher yeilds substantially better file sizes. Staring from his PNG,
97% quality settings in GIMP gave me a JPEG file size of 189kb and just
barely blurred the border between red and brown. No noticeable color
artifacts internal to a color. Where there is red, it's all a smooth
gradient. Nothing even near to the degraded quality of the original low
quality post, very similar to the quality of the PNG.
