I'm sure you have thought of it, but consider (again) things like: 
 
Slightly smaller images. 
Fewer colors (for GIF/PNG) 
Lower quality/resolution (for JPEG) 
 
If you can chop the image file size down, even a little, it may help 
some. 
 
Maybe consider posting your image generation code -- Frequently 
there's a faster way to do something on that for incredible 
performance boost.  Though, again, I would assume you've already been 
over this with a fine-tooth comb... 
 
Still, you never know. 
 
If the information page is a lot of text, maybe gzip it, if you can 
specify the browser at a level that will support zipped content.  This 
will only matter if there's a fair amount of text there... 
gzipping the images probably won't help.
