My client uploaded about 500 images to the server, none of which are optimized. Most are only 800x600 or so yet are weighing in as 700 KB - 1.5 MB files. Obviously there is a lot of room for optimization here. I tried doing something locally http://imageoptim.com/), but it's maxing out my laptop and taking way too long to churn through. I tried doing something server side (with http://lyncd.com/2009/03/imgopt-lossless-optimize-png-jpeg/) on my VPS, but that also seems to be taking way too long (we're talking 9 hours to go through 30 images).

Is there a more efficient way to do this? Something like the (now defunct) smush.it API would be perfect.

I'd stick with imageoptim, you can tweak the settings to use different techniques to get it a bit faster.

It shouldn't take too long doing that – typically for me that many images takes around 10 minutes, but it depends on exactly what they are.
