That would be all well and good, but the page specifically claims that using dithered images lowers energy use.

- moron4hire 8y agoThey may have ran metrics on decoding processing time neé energy usage
- mistercow 8y agoI doubt it. The only study I could find on energy usage in image decoding was this https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7168333 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7168333 which found JPEG decoding to be much less energy intensive than PNG decoding, mostly because it's faster. Note that that's not just a function of file size, as lower quality JPEGs actually took more energy to decode. Which all makes a lot of sense when you consider how much work has gone into optimizing frequency domain based compression and decompression.
