All beloved Trump:

280K trump.ff.bz2

516K trump.ff.gz

304K trump.ff.xz

360K trump.png

32K trump.jpg

Using a more complex langscape image:

175M coast-hdr.ff

42M coast-hdr.ff.bz2

83M coast-hdr.ff.gz

39M coast-hdr.ff.xz

6.5M coast-hdr.jpg

52M coast-hdr.png

Does not look that bad to me compared to PNG.

I also noticed that in my tests, thus I stressed this point in the FAQ. If you try LZMA, you'll see that it sometimes is actually worse than bzip2, even though the latter is regarded to be quite aged compared to the former.
