Dithered images do not compress well. I'd be interested to see side-by-side comparisons of optimised pngs, optimised jpeg, reduced-pallete optimised pngs, and some more cutting-edge formats like BPG[0] and FLIF[1]

That does somewhat depend on whether we are talking about positioned or Floyd-Steinberg dithering. Positioned dithering is a lot more regular and predictable, and hence easier to compress.
