Right, but the point is there is little excuse for needing that much.  If
it's a photograph, then it should be JPG.  You can show a lot of stuff with
JPG compression in 40kbytes.  If it's line art, then it should compress ver=
y
well with LZW or even runlength compression.  A GIF file would be a good
choice, especially if you limit the image to black and white or gray scale.
40kbytes is huge for a black and white line drawing properly compressed.

The problem is that all too often people use inappropriate image formats an=
d
compression.  Note how often we see people sending Eagle screen shots as
JPEG files, for example.  Think of the 40kbyte limit as a moron filter.
