Not by much if we want to keep the rounded corners transparent (PNG), after
optimization I can get it only to 132.5K, not much as a saving:

So to a real decrease we have to make some compromises:
- switch to PNG with indexed colors at 58K, but the dithering really looks
ugly: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/banners/f10launch_indexed.png
- switch to JPEG with no compression to preserve the image quality but replace
the transparent corners with a white background at 70K:

- if needed, we can play further with JPEG compression and decrease the file
size more, like this at 34K (I believe it still look good but also there is
room to decrease the size): http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/banners/f10launch1.jpg
Naw, no worries. It's not costing that much but figured it would be worth
it
to ask.
