      Yes but why? Is it so less data can be stored on disk because compressing raster files absolutely does not make them easier to display.

      Somebody told me that they always use a tiled wallpaper to preserve memory, once.

      They were sort of an advanced user in the 90s, but haven’t done much computer or engineering related work since then.

      If we consider what machines Windows 95 ran on - not even that stupid. Back then.
