As I said lzma compresed pbm files are about the same size like a png
file so if same results can be achieved, I vote for stay on what's
already implemented
And seems this way isi commpressed a litte bit more
I see the sample png file is 4263 bytes and the same pmb+lzma is about 2937
(sucotronic please can you email me with the name of  "treshold tool"
in spanish and post the values you  chose if any?)

well compresion is done on host so no problem on this side, in fact WR
is decompresing huge amount of text in lzma quite fast so a tiny file
of 2-4Kb will be no problem

totally agree :)
