What Cindi said... GIF does not support variable "quality" settings like JPEG does. It *might* be possible to reduce file size by reducing the color depth on the GIF, but intuition tells me it might not be that big a benefit. Let me look at it once...
Edit:
Yes, in the dialog when saving your GIF file, you can replace the default number of colors (256) with something smaller. I saved a JPEG image as GIF, and left the defaults, it was 97kB. I then saved it again and set the number of colors to 32, and the size was reduced to 53kB. I also turned on dithering to offset some of the degradation from reducing the number of colors, but I did this on both copies.
