Decrease optipng level (#2143)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
After seeing the following graph [here](http://sweetme.at/2013/09/11/how-to-maximize-png-image-compression-with-optipng/) we decided to test optimsation level 2 for OptiPNG instead of 7. This is because, acording to the graph we would notice no real difference in avarage file size but would notice a speed increase with our builds.

After testing , we noticed our theme build go from a build time of over 10 mins (just on the 94% asset optimisation step) to an avarage of `150.75s`. All the while, we only gained 10-15kb per png file which we believe more than reasonable for a build speed increase of this magnatude.
