When you have your icon done as you would like, with timing and everything look at the box your finished one is in. At the bottom there is a little tab that says "Optimized."
Once you click that look at the boxes on the right side of your screen. Lossy will lower the overall quality of your avatar image, but will give a corresponding drop in size. Lowering the number of colors is also a good idea. I usually play around with the settings in that box until I find a balance of looking good and size.
248k is incredibly huge though as a starting point. Can you identify what may be making it so big? A good rule of thumb is no more than 8 frames for a color gif.
Let me know if you have more questions! :)
OH! and when you have what you want, ALWAYS choose "save optimized as..." out of the file menu or all your hard work will be for naught
