ALT vs. TITLE for images

I know that! BUT: I'd really like to keep one or the other, ALT or TITLE, for obvious se reasons...
Of course I could write the code with an additional 'mouseover' procedure, but they are so character heavy that it would add too much extra code to the page (I assume ~100bytes per link!). That would mean I'd have to drop probably 60-80 links from my daily list in order to stay around the 100k cut-off for se-spiders = that's a huge trade off for the minority of Modzilla users! [Currently my pages are already 106 and 116 kb respectively, a little above the cut-off, but the bottom is mostly unimportant stuff not helping any ranking.]

Catch 22?
