You have to "save optimized as".

Yeah I know, but after saving it I didn't manage to get it down to 48kb without making it look awful by taking out too much frames, lol.

I can probably get that down without cutting much, maybe none at all... hang on gimme a minute.

Here ya go, give this a try.

Original 116 KB or so-

Optimized 46 KB or so-

Yup, yup. No problem.

:O tell me your secret!

The main thing is colors. The original is at 256 colors and that's just not necessary for something that small. I took it down to 64 and there isn't really any appreciable difference.

I used a combination of SuperGIF and ImageReady. Run it through supergif until it won't reduce anymore and that alone will more than cut the size in half, then use ImageReady optimization tools to further tweak colors, dithering, lossy, etc... until it's at the size you want.
