Comment (by justlevine):

 Just wondering: does this address that WordPress upscales all 8-bit pngs
 to 16-bit, essentially doubling the size?

 Because that's what's currently happening on all my sites.

 While I saw mentioned how optimization on a resize might map new colors,
 but not sure if that translates to 'we need ImageMagick to change our pngs
 to 16-bit'.

 If it's a separate issue, let me know and I'd be happy to open a new
 ticket.
