Digital BW, The Print

Briefly... Save as JPEG with as much compression as you can before the image
degrades in your opinion. The "Save for Web" option lets you preview up to
four different variations including the original so you can see how the
image changes when you try different parameters. Generally JPEG Medium will
get you in the ballpark.

Sizewise, the smaller the images on the page, the quicker the load time. For
a single image, you can see what the load time might be under different
conditions in the SFW window, under each image on the left side. Shorter
times are better.
