What they do is carefully pick the optimum filters to get the best file size. So I'd say those filters were the most important part of the compression.

It shows that yes, the filters are really a huge part of how pngs get compressed: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/15/clever-png-optimization-techniques/ http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/15/clever-png-optimi...
