Not sure what that would be, but it's fair to say that BMP's RLE is
comparable to other RLE schemes.  It's a little more complicated than
average, though.  A good writer is hard to implement, so the de facto
standard BMP is uncompressed.

But in the context of this plug-in, I don't know why people are getting
panicked about filling their hard drives.  You only need a BMP version
of your image for interactive positioning.  Once this is done, there's
no reason you can't substitute other images or sequences in whatever
format you like.

Right?
