    to knock down file-size on an animated gif:

    reduce number of frames,

    reduce number of colours in palette.

    if you can get away with it, don't dither.

    for photos... try duotone rather than full colour, and see how much banding you can live with.

    gifs compress based on number of same pixels in a row, so if you can make it so that more unbroken colours are used, do it. (eg: large areas of colour)
