Bandwidth issues

Greetings...

I absolutely love the forum app, thank you..

Question, are there any suggestions as to how to optimize the software to
conserve bandwidth. I have maybe a dozen active members and have
noticed at much as 20mgs of transfer per day. This may not seem like
much to some but for someone on a fixed transfer amount per month
this could potentially be a problem for me.

Any suggestions would be helpful, since myself and my members really
want to use this as best as possible.

By the way if it helps I'm using the Access version of the software, I don't
have SQL Server available to me, though if there is support for MySQL I do
have access to MySQL.

Thanks in advance for you help..

more topics per page will increase the loading time for each page and every page will get a bit bigger, but one post is smaller than one page, if you understand what I mean 

I did some analysis on my server. My forum on average is pushin about 8-9 gigs per month. I found the avatars and emoticons were taking minimal bandwidth (mainly due to caching). By changing page size from 30 per page down to 15 it cut down on about 2 gig per month (pages went from average 90k down to 55k).
