The current av size is 30k,

So why not up it to 75kb? That was a reasonable number just a few posts ago. Or it it not OK because it would be upping the avatar size, OH NO!
As you yourself pointed out a 150x105 bmp with no compression is under 50kb. It's not entirely unreasonable for 150x105 png with alpha and of sufficent complexity to be over 30k. Heck, I've run into the avatar file size a number of times when just trying to upload a regular avatar, not even animooted.
75 sounds like a reasonable number to me.
There are plenty of other things you can do to replace the page download size, if you're worried about that. I'm also interested in how you're calculating those numbers -- remember, web browsers cache images and don't need to fetch the same thumbs up and thumbs down buttons every time they encounter them.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
