I disagree with this proposal, because I couldn't verify this said 
90% decrease ! In the install manual found 46 png's, 9 are from 10-
30k, the remainder is less than 5k each. Compression to 2 colors 
yielded a reduction to av. 25%. Compression to 16 colors results in 
a 50% reduction, and this give still optimal pictures.

So, I don't recommend compression to 2 color, but - if ever 
necessary - to 16 colors.
