Lossy is useless imo. It save very little space, but make a mess of a picture.
Dither increases the size more than half, so I couldn't use it here. It is sometimes better than using more colours though ;]

hm, I didn't notice such option, I just cleaned unnecessary frames myself. I'll check it out

YOu can reduce the size to something manageable for memory constraints (around 200-250 px), but reduce the rest inside of the Save window. That usually helps save a few k.
nice, I'll see if it'll make a difference
