20kb is more than enough for 100x100px images on average. Either saving as JPG with some particular options, or saving as PNG with a reduced colorspace (animation related avatars that size hardly need more than 32 colors, and that reduces the size by about 40%) should solve your issues.

We could increase the icon upload size from 20 kb to 30- it's not that huge, and it probably won't bork people's connections.
