The best way to do this is with flash
*ducks*
The swf with the image embedded will be more or less the same size as
the original image. Just adjust the alpha or brightness of the image
over a few frames.

An animated gif is a bad way of doing this in terms of bandwidth, and
although SVG is a W3C standard which would do it, installed userbase
is not good. There may be IE-win-only ways of fading - Just Say No.
