That's quite true, BUT: if I wanted to create an universal EPUB, I would not specify a profile, would I? I really do think that specifying profile is the one case where optimizing images is a good idea.

The primary reason for this is that Adobe went and designed their own HTML rendering engine, which has a lot of quirks, so devices using ADE have quirky support for EPUB.
Which is one of the reasons why I need to optimize images - because I want to actually see them on my (quirky) reader...
