[mapguide-users] Reduce PNG image genate whit Tile Base Layer

[Jason Birch]

I'm wondering if post-processing with something like pngcrush might help
as well...

http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/ 

Haven't tried this myself, but crschmidt (from OpenLayers) suggested it
to someone who was trying to optimise for mobile apps.

I'm sure I've said this before, but I think we need an 8bit PNG option
at some point.  24bit is too large for non-highspeed users, and JPG gets
ugly really quickly.  There are issues (would somehow have to histogram
the "map" at the target scales and find the best palette) but the
benefits are considerable.

Hi Maciej,

If you raster contains an aerial photo, it will not compress well with
PNG. May be JPG would compress better?
