I'd argue that that's not the best place to be performing the
optimization. Especially since by doing so you're placing unneeded load
on the server when it could be serving pages, and you're taking up space
on your server that you won't be using. As far as where in the process
optimizing images goes, I'd put it somewhere before you ftp them to the
server. Programs like Fireworks and ImageReady and Debabelizer have
batch modes that you can fire up. 

As to which app I'd choose to schedule, I'd pick Debabelizer, since
that's all it does in life =)
