 Replying to [comment:1 obenland]:
 > > Yes, currently we’re loading the same theme thumbnails as we do for
 the existing directory, the CDN setup we’re using for these screenshots
 doesn’t currently allow for much configuration. If theme authors were to
 compress their thumbnails more, it’d certainly help with Theme ZIP total
 size and the weight of these pages…

 Maybe this could be turned into a recommondation for the Theme Guidelines?
 Eg. "try to compress the image better / use optimizers" plus a selection
 of links to helpful tutorials + (online) tools?
