The total size of the site is 6.7 MB. The total size of the code for the
main 
page with the thumbnails and the 62 pages with the "toenails" is .2 MB.
The 
size of the images, both for the thumbnails and toenails collectively
comes 
to 6.5 MB. If my arithmetic is correct this means that the code occupies 
about 3% of the site. Given that, saving some space taken by the code
hardly 
seems a way to make any consequential difference in the overhead of the
site.

Am I missing something?
