Making sure that your images are optimized is so important to keep your website fast. Images that are bulky are going to slow down your website and ultimately have a negative effect on your rankings, your bounce rate and in turn your income.
Here are the settings that I use for EWWW Image Optimizer and how to use the plugin to optimize your images.

Excellent explanation of EWWW Optimizer, Lynne!
I don't have as many images as you do - only about 2,500 - but, I've been using this plugin for a long time and it works great!
One thing I do before uploading images, though, is I "pre-optimize" my images using MS Office Picture Manager's resize function - setting the images to "web-small." - after I do image crops.
