<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">There's clearly some complications & overhead internally to be able to deal with non-alpha mask bands. I wouldn't have expected it to be as large as you observed though.

We have used the driver to create both WEBP, and JPEG (including the 1bit transparency mask) COGs up to 200GB in size. It did take a couple of days on a mid-sized AWS EC2 instance but completed OK. Note the most of the time is taken up with the overview generation on large COGs. This will hopefully improve soon with multi-threaded overview computation likely coming to GDAL.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Warm Regards,</div><div>Jeremy</div></div></div>
