 * When thumbnails are cropped then result will not be optimized. So when thumbnail
   was lets say 8KB size before cropping then after cropping (cutting smaller by
   edit thumb func.) thumbnail size will be many times larger ~30KB.
 * Why is that? Can it be fixed somehow? I currently manually optimize all cropped
   thumbnails.
 * Thanks!
