As I said: it decompresses with 2GB/second. How much slower would the startup be for a 22MB image? (The idea would be to only do that for small images)

Are you sure it's worth the added complexity of a self-decoding image in lz4 (as well as a dependency on yet one more external item)?
LZ4 makes sense in general even for other things⦠(in image use for compression) and it is tiny. Marcus
