I'm curious about the choice of bmp for http://wdobbie.com/warandpeace/glyphs.bmp http://wdobbie.com/warandpeace/glyphs.bmp Why not a png ? Edit: So after a quick test: * glyphs.bmp 53.5 MB * glyphs.png 7.6 MB I guess it could be shrinked even more.

The .bmp file is served gzipped to 7 MB. LZMA and Bzip2 both get it down to about 3 MB but I'd need to use a javascript decompressor.

  Makes sense. My bad, I tested with wget and compression was disabled.
