I'd be interested to know how well these RAWs would compress with
either RAR, ACE or 7zip format (best settings of course).
249355733 bytes uncompressed (Full size, 9.5MB avg)
209182171 bytes compressed with 'gzip' (84% original size, 8.0MB avg)
209185296 bytes compressed with 'zip' (84% original size, 8.0MB avg)
158154181 bytes compressed with 'bzip2' (63% original size, 6.0MB avg)
bzip2 seems to be about the tightest compression for
general-purpose data, so I'd be surprised if you could get much more than
that. Remember that the amount of compresison possible is somewhat
dependent on the content of the picture (e.g. polar bear in a blizzard is
easy to compress).
