    what a cheats, But i think some of ideas is too difficult to execute. No more than 150 kilobytes (Before Images, CSS and other Attachments) its impossible for.

    Not really. Look – it basically means that your html document, EXCLUDING any images, style sheets or other attachments has to be less than 150Kb. If you look at it like that, then 150Kb is not such a hard target to achieve. In fact – you should worry if your document size goes over 100Kb.
