Default Re: Generated Thumbs - file size issues

I upgraded my test site to 4.3.2 and generated thumbnail sizes are still huge. I guess I need to go through and manually upload thumbs. Product I created after upgrade still has enormous thumb sizes. One thumb was 45k, it was created from an 22k 250x250 jpg! I don't like png files for thumbnails, jpg compresses better even though you lose some detail. I am not super familiar with using csv's, only played with them a little. Can I replace all thumbnails via csv by declaring a new path/imgname.jpg ? Is there any way to manipulate the generate thumb feature to create a jpg? or at least set a target file size?

I pulled a random category page with 21 products: according to yslow I have 465k of images, 136k css, and 132k of js. Total page weight was ~745k. Ridiculous.. All but about 25k of images are thumbs. 21 thumb images / 440k = ~21k per thumbnail. Is anyone else using "generate thumbs" feature and getting similar results?

Thanks!
