While running some JMeter tests I noticed that my WMS tiles were all significantly smaller than the GWC tiles I was comparing to. After some poking around it seems the issue is that the WMS is returning 24bit PNGs (even for overlay layers with transparency) and GWC is returning 32bit PNGs. Is there some way to force the WMS to return 32bit or GWC to use 24bits? I’m not too worried as the WC is still order of magnitudes faster but the client is concerned the byte counts don’t match.
Cheers

It is possible in the stand along gwc, one can
set <transparent>false</transparent> in the layer configuration,
but I don't remember seeing an equivalent in the UI of the embedded GWC
(maybe it's there and I've never noticed?)
