I think 400pixel is too small in today's standard, most people have 1024x768
monitor (at least for the photo fans), the image will be too small on the
monitor. I use 640-760 pixels and most file size around 90-120K. For the
prograssive mode, it will not make the file larger, check it out yourself,
the file size is almost the same with same compression level. I just tried
five images with Photoshop Element they are all the same size with one 1K
smaller in progressive mode.

loading faster. A progressive will always be larger than a linear for the
same quality. I don't use them.
