 > The idea of trying to explicitly make file size a consideration when
 calculating `srcset` attributes.

 The unfun side-effect of that is all the I.O. plugins need to make sure to
 update that information in the metadata after optimization as well. And I
 don't know that you need to use the Imagick method to get the file size,
 do you? Wouldn't a quick call to filesize() be sufficient after the
 resizes has been saved?
