 While nothing Earth-shattering, perhaps it would be wise to establish a
 best practice of optimizing images used in the UI of WordPress before
 committing them?

 Using ImageOptim (a GUI wrapper for [http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/
 pngcrush]) and [https://github.com/svg/svgo svgo] I was able to save an
 average of 8.7% per PNG and an average 15.25% for SVG files.

 A 11% decrease in SVG file sizes isn't that bad. Maybe more important for
 higher-traffic sites, but all users would benefit.
