ok...results.

I have just done this on my n900. I started with about 29MB of PNGs in /opt. It has taken around 2 hours and was at optimisation level 7 (highest). This has resulted in the PNGs in /opt being reduced in size to...



...24MB or ~20% in leet speak. I know, it is off the chain. Difference in speed? Unnoticeable. To be fair the majority of my PNGs are map tiles and these cannot be optimised.

So that is a resounding 'meh' from me.

Code:
find ./opt -type f -iname "*.png" -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{s+=$5}END{print "total: "s" bytes"}'
Code:
find . -iname "*.png" -print0 | xargs -0 optipng -force -preserve -o7
